Case Study: Extensis achieves font type recognition for creatives with pixolution

Font Type Recognition For Creatives

Extensis, a creative software company, faced the challenge of helping its users identify specific fonts within digital images. Graphic designers and marketers would see a font they liked but had no easy way to determine its exact name for their own use. To solve this, they partnered with the vendor pixolution.

pixolution implemented a machine learning solution, training a classifier with 23 million generated sample images. Their model learned to recognize the unique characteristics of any font, regardless of the text, language, or visual style. This allowed creatives to simply mark words in an image for the pixolution model to instantly identify the font, significantly streamlining their design workflow.
