{"slug": "type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai", "title": "Type designers have created a free font that \"poisons\" AI", "summary": "Type designers have released a free font called 'Anti-Comic Sans' that is designed to 'poison' AI systems by confusing their optical character recognition and machine learning algorithms. The font, created by a team including typographer Benoît Bodhuin, exploits vulnerabilities in AI's ability to read text, potentially disrupting automated content analysis and data scraping. This initiative highlights growing concerns about AI's reliance on visual data and the ethical implications of adversarial design.", "body_md": "Skip to main content\nOpen menu\nCreative Bloq\nDaily inspiration for creative people\nSubscribe\nSign in\nView Profile\nSign out\nSearch\nSearch Creative Bloq\nArt & Design\nArt\nDigital Art\nIllustration\nTattoo & Body Art\nTraditional Art\n3D Art\nAI Art\nPainting\nAnimation\nDesign\nSoftware\nGraphic Design\nProduct Design\nVideo Game Design\nApp Design\nBranding\nTypography\nAdvertising\nDesign Brands\nHuawei\nPhillips\nSamsung\nNintendo\nAsus\nAdobe\nDell\nSony\nNvidia\nApple\nProfessional Development\nCreative Careers\nProductivity Tools\nTraining Courses\nCreative Inspiration\nFashion\nInfographics\nOptical Illusions\n3D\nArchitecture\nUrban Design\nSculptures\nVFX & CGI\nPrinting\nSoftware\nWeb Design\nUX & UI\nWeb Design Software\nWordpress\nSquarespace\nTech\nComputers\nLaptops\nDesktops\nMonitors\nGraphic Cards\nStorage\nPeripherals\nAccessories\nKeyboards & Mice\nChairs & Desks\nPrinters\nHeadphones & Earbuds\nAirpods\nPhones & Devices\niPhone\niPad\niPad Pro\niPad Air\nSamsung Galaxy\nGoogle Pixel\nApple Watch\nHonor\nXiaomi\nGadgets\nPhotography\nCameras & Accessories\nPhoto Editing\nVideography\nSoftware\nAI\n3D Software\nWeb Design Software\nProcreate\nAdobe Illustrator\nAfter Effects\nInDesign\nCricut\nDigital Crafting\nEntertainment\nBooks\nMovies & TV\nMarvel\nStar Wars\nDisney\nGaming\nXbox\nPlayStation\nNintendo Switch 2\nVR & AR\nToys & Collectibles\nSign Up\nMore\nAbout Us\nMagazines\nImagineFX Subscribe Now\nImagineFX\n3D World\nEvents\nVertex\nBrand Impact Awards\nReviews\nhome\nArt & Design\nArt\nView Art\nDigital Art\nIllustration\nTattoo & Body Art\nTraditional Art\n3D Art\nAI Art\nPainting\nAnimation\nDesign\nView Design\nSoftware\nGraphic Design\nProduct Design\nVideo Game Design\nApp Design\nBranding\nTypography\nAdvertising\nDesign Brands\nHuawei\nPhillips\nSamsung\nNintendo\nAsus\nAdobe\nDell\nSony\nNvidia\nApple\nProfessional Development\nView Professional Development\nCreative Careers\nProductivity Tools\nTraining Courses\nCreative Inspiration\nView Creative Inspiration\nFashion\nInfographics\nOptical Illusions\n3D\nView 3D\nArchitecture\nUrban Design\nSculptures\nVFX & CGI\nPrinting\nSoftware\nWeb Design\nView Web Design\nUX & UI\nWeb Design Software\nView Web Design Software\nWordpress\nSquarespace\nTech\nView Tech\nComputers\nView Computers\nLaptops\nDesktops\nMonitors\nGraphic Cards\nStorage\nPeripherals\nView Peripherals\nAccessories\nKeyboards & Mice\nChairs & Desks\nPrinters\nHeadphones & Earbuds\nAirpods\nPhones & Devices\nView Phones & Devices\niPhone\niPad\niPad Pro\niPad Air\nSamsung Galaxy\nGoogle Pixel\nApple Watch\nHonor\nXiaomi\nGadgets\nPhotography\nView Photography\nCameras & Accessories\nPhoto Editing\nVideography\nSoftware\nAI\n3D Software\nWeb Design Software\nProcreate\nAdobe Illustrator\nAfter Effects\nInDesign\nCricut\nDigital Crafting\nEntertainment\nView Entertainment\nBooks\nMovies & TV\nView Movies & TV\nMarvel\nStar Wars\nDisney\nGaming\nView Gaming\nXbox\nPlayStation\nNintendo Switch 2\nVR & AR\nToys & Collectibles\nSign Up\nMore\nAbout Us\nMagazines\nImagineFX Subscribe Now\nImagineFX\n3D World\nEvents\nVertex\nBrand Impact Awards\nReviews", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai", "canonical_source": "https://www.creativebloq.com/design/fonts-typography/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai", "published_at": "2026-08-01 17:07:51+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-01 17:22:35.180385+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-ethics", "ai-safety"], "entities": ["Benoît Bodhuin", "Anti-Comic Sans"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/type-designers-have-created-a-free-font-that-poisons-ai.jsonld"}}
