I just found a cool and fun Alphabet Generator AI tool that can generate images of all the 26 letters of the English alphabet based on a prompt.
Introducing GenType.

What is GenType?
According to Google, GenType is an AI experiment that helps anyone create a custom alphabet out of anything, using Imagen 2. With a single prompt, generate all 26 letters of the alphabet.
Steps to use GenType
1. Sign in
Click on “Sign in with Google button” and sign in with your preferred Google account.
2. Write a prompt
On the left, just type a prompt which will tell GenType from which material or thing the alphabets will be made of.
For example, I wrote this prompt: “just flowers”
This was the result:
GenType just took the prompt and generated all the 26 letters in the English alphabet with flowers.
Basically, it arranged all the flowers so that they form a specific letter.
Cool, isn’t it?
I can even open a specific letter image and regenerate it if I don’t like it, copy it and download it on my device.
That’s fine and all but let’s test the responses of GenType with some more prompts.
Prompt Testing
1. Prompt 1
“cats”
Here’s the response:
My expectation was that GenType will generate the images of alphabets using different cat positions and forms.
But in reality, it used multiple cats to form a specific letter.
By the way you can also write anything using the newly generated alphabets.
Scope of Improvement
If you look at the letter “S” image carefully, can you determine what’s happening there?
Because I really don’t know what’s happening in the above image, but this is significantly different than the other letter images.
Maybe GenType could have provided an image using the formula applied on the other images.
Let me know what you think.
2. Prompt 2
“a programming code font with dark background”
Response:
Honestly, I didn’t even know what to expect from the above prompt. But at first thought, I expected that the letter images would have single letters with a typeface used in the context of writing code like “Consolas” on VS Code.
But in the response, GenType clubbed different words together and arranged it accordingly to form a specific letter.
Do you think that GenType could have done something different here?
3. Prompt 3
“a convoy of cars on a mountain road on a sunny weather”
Response:
My expectation was that the images will have realistic roads that would have curves based on the letters of the English alphabet just like the letter Z below:
Instead majority of the images had the cut out portion of the roads and vehicles and simply were pasted over a mountain’s image.
Conclusion
Although there is a lot of improvement needed in some cases, GenType does a “not bad” job of generating alphabet images out of nothing!
