For each letter we took a popular search tag, opened rentafont.com/search and searched fonts for that tag. Then we have chosen 10–15 typical font styles and created a new font image using equable blending. This is how “averaged font stereotypes” appeared. These are delicious, fabulous, childish, Martian, jazz, art deco forms, as well as forms typical for the decades of the 20th century: fonts of the 1930s, fonts of the 1980s, fonts of the 1990s etc.

I have a dream that one day, font designers will be able to join hands with font users as sisters and brothers.
