Summary description

Evolving from my last experiment of Fashion MNIST Exploration, I applied a similar approach to the 65,536 glyph data of Source Hans Serif. Instead of UMAP embedding, this time I use PyMDE with GeomLoss for 3D and 2D grid embedding. WebGL2 vector font rendering was done with the Slug algotithm.
