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

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

Very attractive art style and details. I found it nice that some of them have references as well!
Lovely. Great attention to detail and a brilliant resource for students.
Even though it feels vibed, the information packed is very interesting
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.

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?
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.
