TL;DR: We study the novel problem of font interestingness in this paper.

Abstract: While the problem of interestingness has been studied in various domains, it has not been explored for fonts. We study the novel problem of font interestingness in this paper. We first collect data of font interestingness in two ways, and analyze the data to understand what makes a font interesting. We then learn functions to compute font interestingness scores in two ways. We show results of rankings of fonts from the most to least interesting, and demonstrate applications of interestingness-guided font visualization and interestingness-guided font search.
