Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Mixfont's Ghost Font page, a font meant to be readable only by humans. The comments share a browser console script that decodes Ghost Font text, so the links are about the font itself.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
This is pretty awesome. I've been working on my side project Mixfont ( https://www.mixfont.com ) which is a similar sort of font generator. Your pairings are a lot nicer than those on Mixfont though ... would love to learn more about how you did that.

HN discussionHi HN community, wanted to share a side project that I've been hacking around on. I wanted to make a really easy way to generate new font pairing ideas, and showcase them as if they were part of a real app or website. It turned into Mixfont ( https://www.mixfont.com ) and I hope it can be helpful when choosing fonts for your next project. Would love to hear your thoughts!

HN discussionHow ghost font (Anti-AI font) text protection can be bypassed without AI. And hardened against recovery. Browser version - Open the Ghost Font page - https://www.mixfont.com/ghost-font - Open the developer console - Paste code/ghost_font_browser_decoder.js - Press Enter.
