Project Statement: To highlight the details and cultural significance of my typeface, Trirong.
According to the blurb on Google Fonts, "Trirong means “tricolor flag” in Thai, and represents the flag of Thailand. A serif Latin and looped Thai typeface, it is characterized by thick and thin strokes, and its narrow and tall structure echoes that of traditional Thai typefaces. It saves space while preserving readability and legibility with its oval-shape looped terminal. This looped Thai and Transitional serif Latin works well in formal contexts."
"The similarity between some glyphs such as ก ถ ภ ฤ ฦ, and ฎ and ฏ is something to take into consideration because it might lead to confusion when typesetting very short texts. Trirong takes a specific approach in how it deals with the thick and thin strokes in Thai glyphs."
This typeface was created with a heavy focus on being able to work with Thai letterforms and I believe that is important for me to highlight in my presentation of this typeface since everything about it is so deeply tied to Thai culture.
