quickly.

A distinctive feature of Thonburi is the ligature present when ‘f ’ and ‘i’ are paired. This feature makes obvious the functionality and influence of the Bauhaus with straight, clear lines how-ever this ligature is not present in Helvetica.

The counter in the ‘a’ has a slightly heavier bowl in comparison to the Helvetica one which sits steady on

the baseline.

Thonburi is very similar to Helvetica with a more elon-gated form. It comes with only two weights of regular and bold. Much like Helvetica, Thonburi works very well with a tighter kerning, left aligned and bold.

The five boxing wizards jumped quickly.
