What JasmineUPC is
JasmineUPC is a decorative, high-contrast hook-headed Thai serif with a calligraphic flavour, designed by Unity Progress Corporation in 1992 and licensed to Microsoft, where it ships bundled with Thai editions of Windows and Office in four styles — Regular, Bold, Italic, and Bold Italic. It is one of the original UPC (Unity Progress Corporation) Thai system faces that predate the later “New” versions of Angsana, Browallia and Cordia (there is no Jasmine New), and it covers both the Thai and Latin scripts.
For most Thai computer users JasmineUPC is not a font they chose but one they inherited: it was installed with the operating system and quietly set as a default in older documents. That makes it a compatibility face first and a design choice second — if a legacy Thai document “just renders correctly,” a UPC-family font is often why.
Character and the UPC vs New distinction
There is no Jasmine New: in the Windows 11 font list the UPC families with “New” cuts are only Angsana, Browallia and Cordia, and Jasmine exists only as the four JasmineUPC styles. (Windows 11 font list, accessed 30 October 2026) What sets JasmineUPC apart is its heads: in the font file the heads of ข บ ป ผ พ ฟ ส อ are flared hooks drawn as a single outline, without the closed round loop found in AngsanaUPC or CordiaUPC. JasmineUPC also has the widest consonants of all ten UPC families, averaging 0.46 em each, and its Latin is a serif (measured from Upcjl.ttf, version 5.05, on 30 October 2026).
As a serif face it sits in the traditional Thai text category rather than the modern loopless movement covered in our typography guide. The Latin companion is a straightforward text alphabet included so mixed Thai–English lines can be set from a single family.
Weights and availability
JasmineUPC ships in four styles — Regular, Bold, Bold Italic, and Italic — and is distributed exclusively bundled with Microsoft Windows and Office, not as a separate download. It has been present in Windows from Windows XP through Windows 11, and is also available inside Office applications.
To check whether you already have it, open the font menu in Microsoft Word or your system font settings and look for “JasmineUPC”. Because it is a system font, there is no legitimate free-download source — it arrives with the platform.
On a single PC, switch on Thai Supplemental Fonts under Settings → System → Optional features (Microsoft Learn, accessed 30 October 2026). Administrators deploying many machines can add the Thai font pack that contains JasmineUPC as the capability Language.Fonts.Thai~~~und-THAI~0.0.1.0 (Microsoft Learn — Language FOD, accessed 30 October 2026). The full walkthrough is on our Thai fonts built into Windows page, and in C:\Windows\Fonts you look for JasmineUPC (files Upcjl.ttf, Upcjb.ttf, Upcji.ttf and Upcjbi.ttf).
Best use cases
JasmineUPC earns its keep on compatibility and legacy Thai documents rather than new brand work. Strong fits:
- Opening, editing, and reprinting older Thai documents that specified the UPC family
- Government, academic, and office files that must render identically to their original
- Environments standardised on Microsoft Thai system fonts
- Situations that need a widely-installed, no-cost-to-the-user Thai serif
For new design work, a modern licensed or open face — see the serif category or Sarabun — usually serves better than a legacy system font.

Confirm the terms on the Microsoft Learn typography page and the Office fonts documentation. See our Thai font licensing guide for how bundled system fonts differ from OFL and free faces.
