2. Design Characteristics

The beauty of PSL Ornanong Pro lies in its specific design traits:

  • Semi-Condensed Structure: The font has a slightly narrow build. This allows for efficient use of space without sacrificing legibility. It fits more text per line compared to standard fonts like TH Sarabun New, making it a favorite for body text in magazines.
  • Modern Thai Humanist Style: Unlike rigid square fonts, Ornanong has gentle curves and varying stroke widths that mimic the pressure of a pen. This gives the text a "human" feel—warm and approachable, yet professional.
  • High Legibility: Despite its stylized curves, the counters (the enclosed or partially enclosed spaces in letters) are kept open. This prevents the text from looking cluttered, even at smaller font sizes.
  • Distinctive Loop Heights: In Thai script, the loops (heads of the characters) are crucial. Ornanong Pro maintains a consistent loop height that aligns well with Latin characters, making bilingual design (Thai + English) seamless.

Line-height (Leading)

  • Headline: 0.9–1.1 × font-size for compact display
  • Subheads: 1.1–1.3 × font-size
  • Avoid very tight leading for multiline text with ornamental features; increase to 1.4 if letters intrude.
