The secrets of fonts–and the subtle differences between them that can make or break a project–have long belonged to type designers. But one designer at Ideo recently decided to use machine learning algorithms to visualize the nuanced relationships between hundreds of fonts.
The tool, called Font Map, is an interactive that lays out the letter “A” from more than 750 typefaces from Google Fonts. Clumps of black letters populate the light gray backdrop of the map, which shows how the typefaces are related visually.
