AI generated fonts are the latest development in the world of art and design, with an AI scientist sharing a ‘huge upgrade’ for font design. Word-As-Image is an AI-powered Stable Diffusion tool designed to present a visualisation of the meaning of the word, while also preserving its readability. The technique is described as “pretty sophisticated,” with a “differentiable rasterizer” that allows gradient to propagate from the rendered pixels back to the original shape parameters.
