Abstract

A system includes a computing device that includes a memory configured to store instructions. The system also includes a processor to execute the instructions to perform operations that include attaining data representing features of a font capable of representing one or more glyphs. Operations also include determining a rating for pairing the font and at least one other font using machine learning, the features of the font, and one or more rules included in a set of rules.
