Manoptica

Manoptica is a Thai typeface based on Helvetica.

Manoptica was developed between 1973 and 1987 by graphic designer and typographer Manop Srisomporn.

Manoptica characters do not have the circular heads typical of other Thai fonts.

It is commonly used in headings in advertisement and commercial art, and on street signage.

Manop 5 is mostly used in signage, with its unique opaque circular head and mixed light and bold proportions.
