How does the typeface work?
parsnis Explained According to TechCrunch, typefaces work with three major components. The first is a content hub that enforces user-supplied guidelines for content (text and image) creation. The typeface also has a Blend tool, which uses AI to tailor a user’s content to a particular brand’s style or voice. Finally, Parsnis explains Flow, a tool that provides users with various workflows and templates that they can install alongside existing programs for on-brand content creation.
Speaking on the need for the typeface, Parsnis said:
“Enterprise leaders are telling us across the board that they want to adopt generative AI, but they need a solution that meets their unique needs and is enterprise-ready.”
Typical typeface use might include helping a marketer create an Instagram post including an image and a caption. The user can specify specific brand wording and imagery to launch a product or advertise a feature based on the brand’s image and style.
