AI gives font design 'huge upgrade'

thanks, you shouldn't have

[ParliamentFunkadelic]

Its like a crystal ball for what all strip mall signs are gonna become

“Traditionally, given the same font, the letter ‘A’ looks identical everywhere.”
He says, as though it's a mistake and not a core part of readability.

[swedneck]

ah yes the classic "finding a cool hammer and suddenly everything you see is a nail"

[kaliora]

big news to the yoga studios that formerly just defaulted to papyrus

[neoqueto]

They could've used AI to make kerning not an endless, dreadful crawl through the deepest pits of hell, but

I honestly don't think Croissants & Cupcakes looked that bad. Yoga and Street Fighter, on the other hand...

Ashtanga Yoda is my favourite Star Wars character.

I love how you’re like “hmm…” about the Cats one, the Pogs makes you go “oh no”, and by the time we get to yoda you look like you’ve just eaten the most bitter toxic thing imaginable

[thrownstair]

As someone who can’t help but love novelty fonts I will literally never use, I welcome this incredibly silly development. Incredibly funny that the people who invented this are talking about it like it’s the jump from engraving to Letraset.

Three things.
1) Disgusting.
2) This is really neat from a technical perspective. I would love to see this applied to things beyond fonts!
3) Disgusting.

I think the first one with the cats and dogs was actually pretty cool, everything else can go though.

Client: can you make all the letters look like pictures?
Me: I can make one, but that's it...
Client: no, ALL the letters

You can see the exact moment his soul leaves his body

[soundlesspeal]

i just want a program that can adjust a fonts kerning so that everything has an equal amount of negative space between the letters

[FernandsLiveShowShow]

The beginnings of low budget EZ online makers everywhere! It's like the late 90s (and strip mall signs as mentioned) all over again...

[justcomments]

It makes sense that AI thinks a lady doing yoga has two sets of knees, when a double-ended disembodied arm can have a handshake with two people with 7+ fingers apiece

[GeoQuag]

A few of these are okay and would probably look nice with some professional clean up but there are some big whiffs. Like usual, AI is a solid starting point for ideas but a terrible final product

[Owapawa]

that's actually quite nice as inspo for letter based logo designs

[multi.instrumentalist]

I liked the first two. The ones with people in them were a mistake.

[zeratax]

has this guy ever been a free font website, cos those are full of these kinda fonts lmao
