What TH Baijam is
TH Baijam (formally TH Bai Jamjuree CP) is one of Thailand’s 13 National Fonts — a looped Thai text face in four styles, designed by the PITA team of Rapee Suveeranont and Virot Chiraphadhanakul and released free in 2007 by SIPA and the Department of Intellectual Property. Named for the leaf of the rain tree (ใบจามจุรี), it carries the “TH” prefix of the government’s royalty-free font set.
Its designers matter: Rapee Suveeranont is one of Thailand’s most respected type figures, and the PITA team drew Baijam to make the traditional looped skeleton feel natural and current — heads made more organic, straight sections added into curves so the letters sit comfortably together.
The naming trap is worth flagging. Google Fonts hosts a loopless, techno-flavoured family called Bai Jamjuree by Cadson Demak. The original TH Baijam in the National Font package is a looped (มีหัว) face — a genuinely different design under the same name. See /learn/typography/ for why the looped/loopless distinction changes everything about how a Thai face reads.
Character design and tone
TH Baijam keeps the looped Thai structure but relaxes it — consonant heads drawn to feel natural rather than mechanical, with straightened segments added into the curves for an even, settled rhythm. The result is a looped text face that reads as contemporary without abandoning tradition.
The strokes are near-monolinear and the counters open, so the face holds up at document sizes and in print. Where the loops on many older Thai faces feel rigid, Baijam’s read as considered and organic — the mark of a designer’s hand rather than a system default.
The tone lands between the neutral document faces and the more expressive members of the National Font set: usable for text, but with enough warmth to give a page character. Its Latin companion is matched in size for even bilingual setting.
Weights and availability
TH Baijam ships four cuts — Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic — the standard National Font loadout, distributed as TrueType through f0nt.com. Download it from the f0nt.com National Fonts package, the channel SIPA used for all thirteen originals.
If you want the loopless techno family instead, that is the separate Google Fonts Bai Jamjuree — different file, OFL licence, and a very different visual register.
Best use cases
TH Baijam suits work that wants a looped Thai face with warmth and a designer’s polish, still inside the free National Font set. Strong briefs:
- Body and heading text for reports and publications that want character, not just neutrality
- Bilingual Thai-English documents needing an even, organic texture
- Editorial and cultural layouts that value traditional looped construction
- General-purpose Thai text where Sarabun feels too plain
Where it does not fit: strict official templates that name Sarabun (use Sarabun or TH Sarabun New), and briefs that specifically want the loopless techno look of the Google Bai Jamjuree.
Licensing
TH Baijam is free to use: it is one of the 13 SIPA National Fonts released royalty-free by the Department of Intellectual Property for public and official use. Verify the distribution on the f0nt.com National Fonts page. Commercial use, redistribution and embedding are permitted.
