ABOUT

Katatrad (was: Behaviour)

The idea of Katatrad originally comes from the vision and support of Cadson Demak design team. Started out by a type design exhibition project and transformed itself to a boutique font collection. Katatrad, which is located in Bangkok, offers fonts from new and up coming designers from Thailand. The collection is also available in standard Latin set and Latin&Thai version of the same font. Stawix Ruecha (Katatrad) designed the super-contrasted didone family Xree (2011) and the rounded octagonal family Nubb (2012). They cover Thai and Latin. Katatrad was previously known as Behaviour, est. 1996. In 2006, Katatrad published Fiber Eno, a cross between OCRA and OCRB. In 2005, they did OCR-Be. In fact, many of their typefaces have octagonal roots. Katatrad published Beauty in 2011. Pharmasee (2011) has medical dingbats.

In 2012, Stawix was established in Bangkok.

In 2015, the Katatrad team and Cadson Demak (and especially Thanarat Vachiruckul) published the free loopless Thai / Latin typeface Prompt. It won an award at Granshan 2016.

In 2018, they designed Niramit (Google Fonts, Cadson Demak).

In 2019, Katatrad developed the free version Readiness of their geometric sans typeface family Prompt.
