Replying to @Jaytel
built something similar for typedex. we use a 'similarity game' to train our font-similarity model with human judgment. admins review triplets and choose which font is closer to the anchor, and those manual inputs feed back into the algorithm to refine the similarity graph over time.

a pattern i observe is that new (like REALLY NEW) aesthetics are usually residue of solving problems eg. the iconic inktrap fonts became popular bc ink would pool in corners when printing on rough paper

we just launched v1 of typedex on chrome. identify any font on the web instantly. click the extension & hover over text → get the font name. click again → family, size, weight, style. built for designers, developers, and type enthusiasts.

font discovery is broken. most existing tools are either built around manual curation that goes stale fast, or automated lists that optimize for popularity instead of taste. neither does a good job of surfacing what designers are actually using.

there's also a chrome extension that identifies fonts on any webpage and feeds discovery data back to typedex to enhance the trending algorithm. this creates a data flywheel where users get a useful font identification tool + typedex gains real-world font usage signals.
