DO LLMS IDENTIFY FONTS?

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

A developer created a live benchmark using font identification requests from the dafont.com forum to evaluate how well LLMs like GPT-4o-mini and Gemini 2.5 can recognize fonts in previously unseen images. Despite a clever setup to avoid benchmark contamination, the models performed poorly, showing how LLMs still struggle with certain real-world visual classification tasks.
