Fontjoy: Font pairing via machine learning

The proposal is to map each font as a vector of features such as thickness, x-height, descender height, obliqueness, and so forth. Pairing would happen by selecting a font that is close in one or two features, but very different in others. This is not quite machine learning, but the principle is nice, and perhaps easy to automate given a good program. If the features are all centered at zero, then it is proposed to maximize the absolute value of P and N, where P is the inner product restricted to positive terms and N to negative terms.
