AI is terrible at making nice looking design layout with font selections.

Sure it can make great looking images but nothing can make a nice looking poster or basic page layout.

I’m waiting for someone to solve this. I’m not even sure it takes AI it might just be programmatic.

You've perfectly articulated the gap in the market. The solution isn't just a better image generator. I built a tool called LayoutCraft to solve this exact problem. It focuses entirely on creating a great layout with good font choices automatically. It uses AI to understand the request, but then applies a structured, programmatic 'blueprint' to build the layout. This is how it handles fonts and spacing properly, resulting in a clean design, not a chaotic image.

yes - we're trying to figure out why that is
