![]() Until a tool can do that, can we really call it AI? □ UX Design: A thankless profession? It needs to feel modern and candid, and it would come up with a few suggestions. What I’d expect from AI is to be able to give it a prompt like: come up with a pairing of two fonts for a website of a female author writing about motherhood. For example, I don’t want a slab serif or a classical style at all. But to really make this useful, I’d like to be able to specify the classifications of fonts I want to combine. The Monotype’s article explaining the tool says it looks for harmonious combinations of x-height, apertures, terminals, and overall width. Others were combinations with classical style fonts which didn’t work for body text at all. Only two of them looked ok, they were both combined with slab serif fonts. The tool came up with around 4 font pairings. I picked Gilroy for the title font as it’s the font I use on my website. It’s very simple to use: you pick one font, either the title or body text and the generator will come up with pairings based on that font. I’d use it set in a large type size so that it dominates the page. I think it’s still great to use for titles. A caveat though, it only comes in one style and one weight.

I’m committed to my purpose which means I’m also committed to this newsletter. My purpose is clear - to support my family financially in a way that I can also spend time with them, and help designers become better designers. What gets you through them is a solid process and a purpose. I feel uninspired today so I’m writing this note at the end, for a change. I have a massive headache, I feel a bit burned out, and I didn’t sleep well (our newborn twins were fussy during the night). Today I found it particularly hard to get this edition together. ![]() ![]() How are you? I usually write this personal note first and then proceed to the rest of the content of the newsletter.
