Ask HN: Is anyone working on LLMs that generate fonts?

This seems like a natural use-case for LLMs, but I couldn't find any research or proof-of-concepts. Is anyone working on this?

Hey, are you interested in generating handwritten fonts? I came across a paper from Huawei that was published in CVPR 22 which uses GANs - https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2022/papers/Kong_L...

If you are interested in LLMs, you can look into this paper from ByteDance (also from CVPR 22) - https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content/CVPR2022/papers/Liu_XM...

The second paper seems to be more specific to Chinese fonts.

Thank you, super-interesting!

Not specifically LLM, but it looks like generating fonts with GAN is the subject ot this work: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.10348

"Our goal is to generate fonts with specific impressions, by training a generative adversarial network with a font dataset with impression labels". The PDF contains interesting examples of Latin-based fonts generated by suggesting different impressions.
