The present disclosure relates to a tag-based font recognition system that utilizes a multi-learning framework to develop and improve tag-based font recognition using deep learning neural networks. In particular, the tag-based font recognition system jointly trains a font tag recognition neural network with an implicit font classification attention model to generate font tag probability vectors that are enhanced by implicit font classification information. Indeed, the font recognition system weights the hidden layers of the font tag recognition neural network with implicit font information to improve the accuracy and predictability of the font tag recognition neural network, which results in improved retrieval of fonts in response to a font tag query. Accordingly, using the enhanced tag probability vectors, the tag-based font recognition system can accurately identify and recommend one or more fonts in response to a font tag query.
