font.fish is a browser-based tool for exploring thousands of fonts. My Yale undergraduate thesis, advised by Holly Rushmeier.

font.fish uses Keras’s Inception v3 bindings to generate a featurization space in 2,048 dimensions. Two dimensionality reduction techniques (UMAP and t-SNE) reduce the feature space to 2 dimensions. Three.js visualizes the resulting 2D space.

Inspired by the Yale Digital Humanities Lab’s PixPlot.
