In plain words

This AI-powered tool helps designers discover Google fonts by using a vector space model to find complementary font pairings.

When designers make color palettes, a common technique is to rotate the color wheel. Eg. we can make a complementary palette then rotate hues to form new palettes. The Brandmark font generator does this with fonts instead of colors. From a geometric perspective, changing hues is equivalent to rotating a vector in an HSV colorspace. I've previously discussed finding font pairings with a vector space model , where each font corresponds to a vector in an embedding feature-space. This approach lets us discover interesting pairings out of a vacuum, but a lot of the time we already have some fonts in mind and just want more options to play with, similar to rotating a color wheel.
