I love the slightly whimsical design of the site, clear as a children's book, or as a technical drafting.

Even though it feels vibed, the information packed is very interesting

This doesn’t feel vibe coded at all. It looks beautiful on mobile, the illustrations are all credited to specific artists, the text doesn’t scream AI to me either.

Where does it feel vibed?

Damn, I was on the site for good 5 mins, is my attention span healing? Great info btw

some of those seem like only very vaguely related to types (binding, EULA). Maybe the author just asked some LLM to provide more filler.

But other than that, this is quite nice.

Lovely. Great attention to detail and a brilliant resource for students.

I absolutely love the design! Thanks for sharing

This is vibecoded. How are we supposed to believe that any of the descriptions aren't hallucinated?
Re:Words of Type by tobr on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @06:13AM (#48382097)
I’m not affiliated with the site in any way, but it does not strike me at all as vibe coded. If you dig even just a little you can see that it is credited to studios and individuals who have their own separate web presence. And in fact, their manifesto explicitly rejects using AI even for translation because of quality concerns.

So please offer the evidence that allows you to confidently dismiss it as vibe coded.

Very attractive art style and details. I found it nice that some of them have references as well!

This is the kind of advertising I can appreciate. Useful, even some uncommon information showcasing purchasable products.

I'd never buy a font advertised here (I've never needed a font that wasn't free bad enough to pay money for one), but it's pull, not push, so kudos.

Pretty nice. I been a type aficionado since I was a kid. I loved taking elective typography in college, though my capstone typeface sucked pretty bad.

I was surprised not to see the word "stress" in there.
