What happens when AI comes for our fonts?

Major typography company Monotype envisions AI transforming fonts through adaptive typography that responds to emotional data, reading patterns, and environmental factors. While some see potential for streamlining repetitive tasks like kern tables and font diagnostics, others question whether AI addresses real creative needs or simply automates jobs. The debate mirrors historical tensions between industrialization and craftsmanship, with current AI applications limited to font identification tools. Industry experts remain divided on whether AI will enhance creativity or diminish human intellectual contribution to design.
