This paper presents a simple font search method using an interactive genetic algorithm and similarity search. We see various types of fonts are used in many graphic designs. Various choices are available when selecting suitable fonts for presentation slides or website designs. However, the existing methods used for selecting fonts become tedious as the number of fonts increases. Our method provides an effective font search process based on visual similarity. In two experiments, we affirm that our method is effective in searching for a desired font, helping users to obtain a font suitable for an alphabetic (or non-alphabetic) character. In particular, our method allows users to search a font suitable for some words in less than half or one-third time that the user selects a font from a font list.
