The "new" wave of CAG generated fonts distinguishes itself from early procedural typography through several key advancements: 1. Optical Sizing Mastery
Unlike traditional fonts designed stroke-by-stroke in software like Adobe Illustrator or Glyphs, a CAG generated font is birthed through algorithms.
Variable fonts (VF) are the crown jewel of the CAG era. A single font file can now contain an infinite range of weights and widths, significantly reducing web load times while increasing creative flexibility. Benefits for Modern Workflows
Generating thousands of variations in seconds.
Reduce the time from concept to a usable .OTF or .WOF2 file.
Ensuring every glyph follows a unified logic.
We are moving toward a "Generative Identity" model. In this future, your brand’s font might change slightly based on the user's time of day, their device's battery level, or even the sentiment of the text being displayed.
