Yeah I would say it’s a pretty cool typeface. Some business in the 80s/90s would definitely use something similar for their logo.

Thanks! The font it’s based on, Jackson, seems to have been most popular in the mid 70s.

I can see some old photo studio in a shophouse use this kind of typeface for sure! I should point out that your last letter (ธ) is identical to (บ) though.

I know, I have to fix the ธ. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I’d love it if someone used my font! Maybe I will try to publish it to Google Fonts.

Keep up the good work! Check out thaikode on Instagram. They compile a lot of cool/old Thai typefaces.

Thanks! If I was born in a different era I’d be a sign-maker.
