Abstract
This thesis involves the design of a new English typeface which reflects the aesthetic values of Thai culture. It incorporates Thai stylistic considerations, including the unique appearances and forms of Thai artifacts, into the design of English letterforms. A primary purpose of this new typeface would be for use as a display typeface in printed or digital applications regarding Thai subjects, which are distributed inside and outside Thailand.
