There will always be a place for calligraphy, artisan, who place creativity, handcraft and art first.

You can see it like pizzas:

there will always be someone who actually makes these pizzas from scratch; grows his own tomatoes in his garden, does his own flour, does his own cheese, raises pigs, etc.

But these are exceptions, maybe 0.001% - it gets very very expensive, these people do it for passion and art, not for money or scale.

You need to pre-order your pizza weeks before, you will pay a lot and you are not sure what will be the final taste (hopefully tasty), and you buy a story and supports someone.

On the other end, you have companies like Gustavo Gusto who produce 100'000 pizzas a day.

Quality ingredients, great execution, convenient, immediate, available and cheaper than hiring someone.

The irony is that the expensive and slow small artisan may actually make a worse product, than something which has been battle-tested on millions of people and whose supply chain has been controlled end-to-end.

After all of that, the industrial fonts like Roboto are not that bad, and if the industrial people offer you to customize it in a couple of prompts, then this is the cherry on top.
