Designer Jack Qiao (Jack Qiao) has created a website that helps designers choose a combination of fonts for their project. Fontjoy works on the basis of machine learning. The user can create a random combination of fonts suitable for the title, subtitle and main text. In this case, you can specify how much they should be similar to each other. You can also specify a specific sample, based on which the rest will be matched. "When searching for suitable fonts, a paradox arises: they must contrast with each other, but at the same time have some similarities.

Similar fonts cause discomfort, but also very different ones also look bad, "Qiao writes in the description of the project on GitHub. Neural network Qiao highlights the key features of the sample and finds other variants with the same characteristics. When comparing, not only slope and notches are taken into account, but more abstract parameters, such as kerning or intelligibility. Total in the database Fontjoy about two thousand fonts.
