Score: 8.0/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 9, Documentation: 8, Utility: 7)

GPU-font is a browser-based font identification tool that uses WebGPU or CPU to match a cropped image of text against a large catalog of fonts. It runs entirely on the user's device, names the specific face (weight and style), and searches across multiple free font catalogs. The project is notable for its high accuracy (93% top-five on Google Fonts) and innovative use of WebGPU for on-device machine learning.

Target audience: designers, frontend developers, typographers
