What TG Arun is

TG Arun (ทีจี อรุณ) is a loopless Thai display font for headlines, logos, signs and packaging, in four weights, designed from scratch by ThaiGraph. It is cleared for commercial use, every tier includes logo use, and it costs from ฿590 / $19, paid once. Every letter is a monoline stroke with round terminals, the traditional Thai loop is reduced to a small notch or bar, and the Latin is built on the same circles as the Thai, so a shop name that mixes Thai and English reads as one set. Type your own shop name in the box at the top of this page to see it on a sign, a label and a post.

TG Arun is a headline face, not a text face. For long documents, set the body in TH Sarabun New or Anuphan and use TG Arun for the headings.

What you can use it for

Every TG Arun tier covers the work shops, freelancers and companies do every day, from logos, shop signs and packaging to social ads, video, client work and your own website. The only difference between tiers is how many people install the font. There is no separate logo licence or webfont licence to buy.

The full terms are on the TG Arun licence page.

Why pay when Kanit is free

If your work is documents, reports or everyday posts, don’t pay: Kanit, Prompt and Sarabun are free and genuinely cleared for commercial use. Paying makes sense for work that has to be remembered, such as a logo, a shop sign or a package, because the popular free fonts are already on the signs and in the feeds of most other shops. TG Arun gives you three things a free font does not: a face that is not on the shop next door, a licence certificate in your name for the client who asks “is this font licensed?”, and someone you can actually reach if a letter misbehaves.

Kanit is a good font and free to use in a logo under the OFL. If the differences above don’t matter for your project, use Kanit. Every free face in the same style is in the loopless category, and the Thai font licensing guide explains how to check a free font’s licence.

How the licence compares with DB Fonts and Kanit

For a logo, TG Arun’s ฿590 Individual tier covers logos, packaging, signage and webfonts, which a ฿1,070 DB Fonts Desktop licence does not. Kanit is free and allows logos too, but it is the font everyone already uses. The table compares licence terms and style counts only, not the letterforms.

DB Fonts terms are from the dbfont.biz FAQ and DB Adman pages, Kanit from Google Fonts, all checked on 30 October 2026. Other foundries’ terms can change: before you buy any font, ask the seller to confirm in writing that the licence covers your use.

Prices and tiers

TG Arun has three tiers, each a one-time payment for a perpetual licence. Every tier grants exactly the same rights; only the number of people changes: Individual ฿590 / $19 (1 person), Team ฿1,990 / $59 (up to 10) and Company ฿4,900 / $149 (up to 50), each person on up to two devices. Individual is for a freelancer, creator or sole trader; Team is for a shop, studio or agency where several people work with the font. When you grow, upgrade by paying only the difference.

Every purchase downloads immediately after payment and includes a licence certificate to fill in with your name or your company’s. The seller is ConnectEra LLC, a US company: you receive a payment receipt, but no Thai tax invoice is issued. If you bought and have not installed the files, you can get a full refund within 14 days.

Try it free first

TG Arun Trial (the Regular weight) is a free download: install it and try it in your real layouts before you decide. The trial covers personal use and drafts shown privately to a client; anything published, sold or used for a business needs a licence first. In your font menu the trial is called “TG Arun Trial”, so it never gets confused with the real family. After you buy, uninstall the trial and install the four weights from your purchase.

Download TG Arun Trial (22 KB ZIP). If you have the latest ThaiGraph Thai Font Pack, the trial is already in its TG-Arun-Trial-PERSONAL-USE-ONLY folder.

Questions before you buy

Before buying TG Arun, a few things are worth knowing: how to pay, tax invoices, using it in Canva, making logos for clients, and refunds. The answers below summarise the full TG Arun licence; for anything else, email [email protected].

How can I pay?

Credit or debit card, through Stripe’s checkout. PromptPay and bank transfer are not available yet.

Can I get a Thai tax invoice?

No. The seller, ConnectEra LLC, is not VAT-registered in Thailand. You get a payment receipt and a licence certificate. If your purchasing team needs a quote first, email us.

Can I use it in Canva?

Yes, on a paid Canva plan that allows font uploads: upload the .ttf files to your Brand Kit. Everyone on your Canva team who uses the font counts as one user of your tier.

Can I make a logo for a client? Does the client need to buy it?

Yes, on every tier. Your client can use the logo artwork you deliver without buying the font. If the client wants to install the font and set text themselves, they need their own licence.

Does it work on Windows, Mac and the web?

Yes. The TTF files install on Windows and macOS, and the WOFF2 files with ready CSS work on your own websites.

I bought Individual and my team grew. What now?

Upgrade to Team or Company at any time and pay only the difference. Send us your original receipt.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, if you ask within 14 days of purchase and have not installed the files, or if the font fails to install or render and we cannot fix it within 14 days.

Weights, character set and Thai shaping

The family ships four static weights as TTF (for installation) and WOFF2 (for the web), each with 199 glyphs: the complete Thai block (44 consonants, every vowel and tone mark, all signs, Thai digits ๐–๙ and ฿), Latin A–Z and a–z, lining figures, and the punctuation and symbols a headline needs. Weight is a single parameter of the design, so the four weights share identical proportions and spacing and can be mixed freely in one layout.

Thai shaping is handled the way a Thai font has to handle it, not left to the operating system. Above-vowels and tone marks are positioned with mark and mkmk anchors computed from each base letter’s real height, so a tone on ป or ฝ rides higher than the same tone on บ. ญ and ฐ swap to descender-less forms in front of ุ and ู through ccmp, and ำ decomposes so its ring stacks correctly under a tone mark. Every base-plus-mark combination in the Thai block is checked for collisions in all four weights before a build is allowed to ship. The live specimen above is rendered from the same WOFF2 files you receive.

How TG Arun was made

TG Arun is an original design: every glyph is a hand-authored stroke skeleton compiled by the ThaiGraph font-factory into outlines, mark anchors and OpenType features, and it contains no outline data from any other font. Weights are produced by re-rendering the same skeletons at a different stroke width rather than by interpolating between drawn masters, which is why the family is so consistent from Light to Bold and why the whole design fits in a few hundred lines of data.

Known limits of version 1.000

Version 1.000 is a display family with four upright weights, no italics and no variable font, and its heaviest weight deliberately closes the small heads of letters such as ค and ฃ at very large sizes. Those are choices, not bugs, but if a glyph looks wrong to you in real use, email [email protected] with a screenshot and the word: corrections ship as free 1.x updates to every licensee.
