Abstract

We propose a Japanese font automatic creating system reflecting user´s Kansei. In the system, a user inputs the impression of a font to create. Since a user does not have to do direct design work a, user without special design skill can easily obtain various fonts reflecting his/her Kansei. The proposed system operates based on the genetic algorithm. The genetic algorithm consists of two parts: a font creation part and a font evaluation part. By repetition of creation and evaluation, the system outputs a font which meets the demand of a user. In addition, by repetition of the genetic algorithm, various fonts are obtained. Furthermore, the system has the learning ability to reflect each user´s Kansei. Through the experiment, we have confirmed the availability of the system, such as the diversity of created fonts and the satisfaction of each user.
