Official implementation of the Word-As-Image semantic typography technique (SIGGRAPH 2023), which automatically illustrates letters so they visually convey the meaning of a word while staying legible. It optimizes letter outlines guided by a pretrained Stable Diffusion model, producing black-and-white SVG-style designs.

Use cases

• generate semantic letter illustrations from words
• create word-as-image typography designs automatically
• distill textual concepts into letterform visuals
• produce stylized logos from a single word
• research semantic typography with diffusion models

When to choose

• you want to automatically turn words into semantically meaningful letter art
• you need a research-grade implementation of the SIGGRAPH 2023 method
• you want simple black-and-white letter designs that preserve font style and readability

When to avoid

• you need colorful or heavily embellished typography
• you want a polished end-user design tool rather than research code
• you lack a GPU or cannot set up the pinned conda/diffusers environment
