Evolving Stencils for Typefaces: Combining Machine Learning, User’s Preferences and Novelty by Tiago Martins, João Correia, Ernesto Costa, Penousal Machado

“…The second module, the fitness function design interface, enables the users to create fitness functions through a responsive graphical interface, by indicating the desired values and weights of a set of behavioural features, based on machine learning approaches, and morphological features. The experimental results reveal the wide variety of type stencils and glyphs that can be evolved with the presented framework and show how the design of fitness functions influences the outcomes, which are able to convey the preferences expressed by the user. …”
