字體簡(jiǎn)介

Pattaya 是?Lobster?的泰文擴(kuò)展版本，Lobster?是最受歡迎的網(wǎng)絡(luò)字體之一，由設(shè)計(jì)師Pablo Impallari創(chuàng)作。Pattaya字體項(xiàng)目由泰國(guó)字體設(shè)計(jì)工坊Cadson Demak主導(dǎo)，采用非正式無(wú)襯圈設(shè)計(jì)，支持拉丁字母及泰文字符的所有變體。

為兼容泰文元音和聲調(diào)符號(hào)，本字體家族對(duì)影響行間距的垂直度量參數(shù)進(jìn)行了專門調(diào)整，因此作為獨(dú)立字體家族發(fā)布。需注意某些字形（如?、?、?、?、?；?與?；?與?；?與?等）存在相似性，在排版極短文本時(shí)可能引發(fā)辨識(shí)混淆。

Pattaya 對(duì)泰文字形的粗細(xì)筆畫處理具有獨(dú)創(chuàng)性，可為其他泰文字體設(shè)計(jì)師提供參考。相較于正式字體，非正式無(wú)襯圈泰文字體對(duì)筆畫細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行了適度簡(jiǎn)化，這種簡(jiǎn)化必須精準(zhǔn)執(zhí)行以保留每個(gè)字形的獨(dú)特神韻。泰文元音與聲調(diào)符號(hào)的大小及位置需精心調(diào)控，這些要素直接影響文本的可讀性、易辨性及整體質(zhì)感。

Lobster is one of the most popular web fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari. Pattaya is a version of Lobster extended into Thai, and supports Latin and all variations of the Thai script with an informal loopless design.The Pattaya project is led by Cadson Demak, a type foundry in Thailand.

However, vertical metrics (that effect line-spacing) had to be adjusted in order to support Thai vowels and tone marks, so this is published as a separate family.A similarity between some glyphs such as ? ? ? ? ?, ? and ?, ? and ?, or ? and ? is something to take into consideration because it might lead to confusion when typesetting very short texts.

Pattaya has a specific approach to the thick and thin strokes of Thai glyphs. Other type designers of Thai fonts may like to use this approach as a reference.Informal loopless Thai tyefaces have slightly simplified details, as compared to formal ones, and this simplification has to be done properly in order to preserve the character of each glyph. The size and position of Thai vowel and tone marks need to be managed carefully, because they are all relevant to readability, legibility, and overall texture.
