What DB SaiKrok is
DB SaiKrok is a playful, rounded Thai display face from DB (Dear Book), drawn in six styles for children’s design, food, and travel graphics where the type should feel warm and fun. The name (ดีบี ไส้กรอก) literally means “sausage,” and the letterforms have the plump, rounded look to match.
The DB catalogue tags it directly for “เด็กๆ, หนุกหนาน, อาหาร, ท่องเที่ยว” — kids, playful, food, travel — which is exactly the brief it is built for. It sits at the fun end of the DB range, near lighthearted faces like DB Soda.
DB (Dear Book), founded by Parinya Rojarayanond, is credited as Thailand’s first digital type foundry, established in the late 1980s.
Character design and tone
DB SaiKrok is drawn with rounded, swollen strokes and soft terminals that give every letter a plump, sausage-like body — friendly, casual, and unmistakably informal. It is a display face, meant for short, large text rather than paragraphs.
Consonants like ก, ถ, and ภ take on rounded, chubby proportions that read as cheerful and approachable. The Bold cut fattens the strokes further for maximum bounce; the italics add a jaunty lean. Both Thai ก-ฮ and Latin A-Z are included, so playful bilingual packaging works.
The tone is squarely playful — a face chosen to make a design smile.
Weights and availability
DB SaiKrok ships six styles — Light, Regular, and Bold, each with an italic. Licence it from the DB Font catalogue as a desktop font or inside the DB Font Vol. 2 bundle.
The font is commercial and not distributed free. As a display face, it is best reserved for headlines, logos, and packaging call-outs.
Best use cases
DB SaiKrok is the correct choice for cheerful, informal Thai design aimed at families and food. Strong briefs:
- Children’s products, books, and educational materials
- Snack, confectionery, and casual food packaging
- Travel, festival, and event branding
- Playful logos and short headlines
- Bilingual packaging call-outs with a fun tone
Where it doesn’t fit: body text, corporate work, and open-licence projects — use Itim or Mali there.
Pairings
DB SaiKrok is a display face; pair it with a simple, calm body font. Three pairings:
- DB Soda — another light-hearted DB face for playful systems
- Itim — an open-licensed casual Thai handwriting sans for body support
- Mali — a soft rounded Thai sans for gentle body copy
Licensing
DB SaiKrok is commercial proprietary software from DB (Dear Book), licensed per-user, per-application, or per web-font domain. Redistribution needs separate terms. Confirm pricing on the DB Font catalogue page. For open-licensed playful Thai alternatives, see Itim and the display category.
