About

Overview

Mixfont is an AI-powered digital font foundry. Our mission is to put the creation and sharing of fonts into the hands of everyone — designers, developers, and anyone who has ever wanted a typeface that does not exist yet.

The models behind Mixfont are trained from scratch by our team in San Francisco. Lens, our font recognition model, was trained on over 1.5 million open-source font samples to identify the closest usable match for any typography image. Our font generation model creates original typefaces from a text prompt or reference image, producing more than 320 glyphs per font across 26 languages.

Everything Mixfont generates is a real, installable font file — not stylized text — and every generated font can be used anywhere, for any purpose, under the Mixfont license, including commercial work.

Mixfont is built by Eric Lu. If you are curious about how the models work, the blog documents the process of training them, from the first font recognition experiments to the frontier font generation model that powers the workspace today.
