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

TIL the terms uppercase and lowercase come from early printing presses, where capital letters were kept in the upper case and smaller letters in the lower
typedex tracks thousands of typefaces in real time, showing what designers are actually using, not static lists or paid hype. discover, save, and shape what rises to the top.

our new directory page is now live → explore 200+ type foundries and designers from around the world
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.
