Very nice! “Using AI to Augment Human Intelligence” by @shancarter and @michael_nielsen shows (and nicely explains) some of the applications of machine learning in the context of type design. Some of those I hypothesized at @typostammtisch in April. distill.pub/2017/aia/

@shancarter @michael_nielsen @typostammtisch Although, I usually leave oracular activities to others, my guess is that we will see ML-augmented type design within the next 5–7 years (kerning, boldening, widening, …). In 10–12 y we will see assistive design tools that will generate new characters with/for you.

@shancarter @michael_nielsen @typostammtisch Stuff like this makes one question the utility of variable fonts even more.
