Tai Heritage Pro—An Elegant Tai Viet Font

Tai Heritage Pro is a Tai Viet font designed to reflect the traditional hand-written style of the script that is treasured by the Tai people of Vietnam. This gives it its angular style and flowing lines, as opposed to the more rounded style used by Lao script and some modern versions of Tai Viet. The character designs in Tai Heritage Pro are based on drawings by Mr Faah Baccam.

The download package for this Tai Viet font includes Regular and Bold weights. Also included are WOFF and WOFF2 versions of the fonts for use on web pages.

Tai Heritage Pro can use either OpenType or Graphite rendering to achieve optimal positioning of vowels and tones. In other words, these advanced font technologies make the text look the way it should. However, this requires using applications that provide an adequate level of support for OpenType and/or Graphite.

Language Support

The Tai people of northwestern Vietnam and surrounding areas have a long tradition of literacy in the Tai Viet script. See the complete list of Tai Viet writing systems on ScriptSource.

Character set support

Common questions
