Show HN: Gen AI for fonts, 1M free fonts organized by "vibe"

https://fonthero.com/
3•jacobn•1h ago
Hi HN, we've taken a stab at reimagining fonts in the world of Gen AI.

Rather than using prompts (slow, and how do you even describe a font?) we've pre-generated a large catalog, and organized it into "vibe" folders for easy exploration.

For those not familiar, typical font sites show you 10-20 crippled specimens in seemingly random order, have limited & inconsistent catalogs, are slow to load, and use complicated licensing terms that make it hard to know what you're allowed to do.

Font Hero solves these problems: hundreds of instantly updating custom specimens organized by "vibe", more than a million fonts with consistent & broad character sets, blazingly fast load times, and simple licensing:

  All fonts are free for commercial use while in beta.
(After the beta, we will offer simple and reasonable terms for future use.)

About the AI: we have trained a custom generative AI model from scratch using a dataset of non-copyrighted raster specimens. As with most first stabs at Gen AI, the results are on the one hand amazing (there are a lot of good-to-great fonts in the collection), but of course the error rate is non-zero, so if you dig around you'll soon find some "six fingered" glyphs too ;)

Please check it out, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!
