- Abstract: The Cognitive Type Project is focused on developing computational tools to
enable the design of typefaces with varying cognitive properties. This
initiative aims to empower typographers to craft fonts that enhance
click-through rates for online ads, improve reading levels in children's books,
enable dyslexics to create personalized type, or provide insights into customer
reactions to textual content in media. A significant challenge in research
related to mapping typography to cognition is the creation of thousands of
typefaces with minor variations, a process that is both labor-intensive and
requires the expertise of skilled typographers. Cognitive science research
highlights that the design and form of letters, along with the text's overall
layout, are crucial in determining the ease of reading and other cognitive
properties of type such as perceived beauty and memorability. These factors
affect not only the legibility and clarity of information presentation but also
the likability of a typeface.

- Texture or Semantics? Vision-Language Models Get Lost in Font Recognition [48.856390495568114]
We introduce the Font Recognition Benchmark (FRB), a compact and well-structured dataset comprising 15 commonly used fonts.
FRB includes two versions: (i) an easy version, where 10 sentences are rendered in different fonts, and (ii) a hard version, where each text sample consists of the names of the 15 fonts themselves.
We find that current VLMs exhibit limited font recognition capabilities, with many state-of-the-art models failing to achieve satisfactory performance.

We introduce a dual-branch and training-free method, namely VitaGlyph, to enable flexible artistic typography.
VitaGlyph treats input character as a scene composed of Subject and Surrounding, followed by rendering them under varying degrees of geometry transformation.
Experimental results demonstrate that VitaGlyph not only achieves better artistry and readability, but also manages to depict multiple customize concepts.

Recognition [63.6608759501803]
We propose to recognize artistic text at three levels.
corner points are applied to guide the extraction of local features inside characters, considering the robustness of corner structures to appearance and shape.
Secondly, we design a character contrastive loss to model the character-level feature, improving the feature representation for character classification.
Thirdly, we utilize Transformer to learn the global feature on image-level and model the global relationship of the corner points.
