Search Optimization

  • For font search Start with k=5, adjust based on your needs
  • Consider distance values < 0.3 as highly similar fonts
  • Use the returned metadata (category, family) to filter results

Low Quality Results

  • Issue: Poor font recognition accuracy
  • Solution: Check text size (7-39% of image height), improve contrast, use square format
