1.4. Outputs: Tangible Artefacts of the Project
The thesis presents three digital artefacts accessible through dedicated web interfaces:
- Literature database: a comprehensive catalogue of AI font generation research papers tracking 18 research topics
- LTTR/SET: a dataset with regularised data of type designers’ drawings to train models that are useful for type design practice
- Font tester: a user interface for examining AI-generated fonts
These practical contributions venture beyond mere academic exercises, offering tangible tools for the curious intersection of type design and machine learning. The methodologies developed here demonstrate how rigorous typographic principles can inform computational approaches, whilst new evaluation frameworks help bridge the gap between technical metrics and design quality.
