I would love to experiment with the idea of font interpretation. People can and do anthropomorphize fonts, but then they have names with meanings which might or might not be useful.

For example, I'm wondering if a prompt written in Comic Sans should be turned into a comic-style illustration, or does it come out as a simplistic and childish drawing? Is a gothic font meant to imply a style of architecture, old Germanic peoples, or goth music and style?

if i understand it correctly, this is an a-priori mapping from font to style, the ml model doesn't interpret the font. I might be wrong tho, the paper isn't super clear.

Yes, the particular font family was just a "label". We don't really interpret what that font style would look like.
