Cagenerated Font

At its core, a cagenerated font refers to typefaces developed or optimized using computational tools. Unlike traditional hand-drawn fonts, these are often built through machine learning models or parametric design software that allows for infinite variations in weight, slant, and curvature. This technological shift enables:

This is the bleeding edge. Instead of generating images (like Midjourney), researchers are building models that generate vector glyphs directly. At its core, a cagenerated font refers to

This uses algorithms to mix and match geometric properties of existing fonts to create new ones. This is the bleeding edge

| Issue | Why it happens | Mitigation | |-------|----------------|-------------| | | AI doesn't maintain global style | Generate in multiple passes + manual averaging | | Poor kerning | AI ignores spacing | Auto-kerning tool (e.g., Kerning.js ) | | Missing Unicode blocks | Training data limited to Latin | Manually add accented characters (É, ü, etc.) | | Non‑commercial outputs | Training data copyright issues | Use tools with clear CC0/Open Font License models |

"Generate a UFO font where each glyph is a rectangle with the middle third cut out (stencil style). Output the Python code using defcon and fontTools."
