Why Font Recommendations in Your Terminal?
Developers make typography decisions constantly. Whether you're building a landing page, configuring a design system, or setting up CSS for a new project, font selection is an inevitable part of the process.
The typical workflow looks like this: stop coding, open a browser, visit a font site, browse through options, test combinations, copy the CSS, switch back to the editor.
Context switching kills productivity.
What if you could get expert font recommendations — with ready-to-paste CSS code — without ever leaving your terminal?
Introducing the Gulim Font Skill

This downloads the skill file to ~/.claude/commands/font.md and makes the /font command available in all your Claude Code sessions.

How It Works Under the Hood
The font skill is a Claude Code slash command — a markdown file that instructs Claude on how to process your request.
The Flow
- You type
/font warm cafe branding - Claude parses your keywords against Gulim's 167-keyword mood vocabulary
- Claude calls the Gulim API at
gulim.xyz/api/v1/fonts/recommend - The API returns matched fonts, mood vectors, design guides, and CSS snippets
- Claude formats the results as a developer-friendly response with actionable code
Supported Keywords
The skill recognizes 68 core keywords across Korean and English:
Korean: 따뜻한, 포근한, 부드러운, 캐주얼, 고전적, 전통적, 클래식, 세련된, 우아한, 고급스러운, 럭셔리, 모던, 현대적, 미니멀, 심플, 깔끔, 시원한, 역동적, 강렬한, 재미있는, 귀여운, 레트로, 복고, 미래적, 테크, 손글씨...
English: warm, soft, casual, classic, elegant, luxury, modern, minimal, clean, cool, dynamic, bold, playful, cute, retro, vintage, futuristic, tech, handwriting...
Keywords not in the vocabulary are still passed to the API and returned as keywords_unmatched in the response, so the system gracefully handles unknown inputs.
Usage and Language Filters
The skill also detects context from your input:
| Input contains | Filter applied |
|---|---|
| "heading", "title", "제목" | Heading fonts only |
| "body", "paragraph", "본문" | Body fonts only |
| "Korean", "한글" | Korean fonts only |
| "English", "영문" | English fonts only |
