IBM Plex Sans Thai
The Thai member of the Plex family IBM commissioned as its corporate face and then released openly, drawn to sit with the Latin and the mono rather than beside them. It is the most restrained Thai here: no forward lean, no flare on the terminals, and a loopless design that holds at interface sizes. Seven weights, no italic in this cut, and a character set that stops at Latin and Thai rather than reaching for Turkish.

Questions
- Is IBM Plex Sans Thai free for commercial use?
- Yes. IBM Plex Sans Thai is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use IBM Plex Sans Thai in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in IBM Plex Sans Thai belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Mike Abbink, Bold Monday. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install IBM Plex Sans Thai?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 7 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does IBM Plex Sans Thai support Turkish?
- No. IBM Plex Sans Thai covers Latin, but not the extra characters Turkish needs — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ and ş. Turkish text set in it would come out with missing or wrong letters.
- Does IBM Plex Sans Thai support Latin, Latin Extended and Thai?
- Yes. IBM Plex Sans Thai covers Latin, Latin Extended and Thai, across 520 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
