K-culture is hugely popular in Thailand, from entertainment to food. To stand out, we promoted our new Korean-style product through Nolingual Font. Inspired by the structure and stroke rhythm of Hangul, we redesigned Thai letterforms to carry a Korean look and feel. At first glance, people assume it’s Korean, but once they read it, it’s clearly Thai, delivering the same Korean vibe as the product. The result went beyond awareness: people echoed the brand message together, driving engagement as well.
