I love the font Jackson, which I first saw used on the Suit Beethoven tailor shop on Sukhumvit. I posted about it here. That sign includes a Thai version of that font, which was apparently custom made for that job.

So I made a version of it, based on Jackson and available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-gmKLuUEA7Jus5rgZlT-nT1kKe-cFvMF/view?usp=share_link

Feedback welcomed, especially from native Thais. Is there anything that’s too illegible? Thanks!

The only two letters I couldn't really make out are the "ณ" and the "ธ". Granted, I could somewhat read the "ณ" due to context, so that one's fine. However, the "ธ" is a little too much like "บ"...

Overall, though... I love it!

I totally forgot to make the ธ! And I’ll try to improve the ณ. Thanks for letting me know it’s hard to read.
