Surely the next step is to tweak the open source font with AI to slightly better target the desired font?
Sometimes you're trying to replicate a logo and they've hand tweaked a letter or two, or stretched it.
edit: (Google Fonts actually have fonts you can natively stretch and some with replacement character variants) I wonder if the tool uses that to better match?)
Sometimes you just don't want to pay for a fancy font and I believe font shapes are not copyrightable?
I’m curious to know how this model tackles newly released fonts. How difficult would it be if this model needs to recognise font in a different language?
Graphic designer here. A font recognition ai is sorley needed. Gemini and its competitors flat out lie when asked and Adobe Illustrators Retype is laughably bad. The problem I face almost every day is not to find a close match but to find the actual font in use, commercial or not.

I just use Rookledge's Type Finder and a battered copy of Precision Type 5.0
