Ideogram V4 is the typography specialist: posters, logos and packaging where the text spells what you wrote.
Ideogram V4’s speciality is rendered text. Titles, logos, packaging, signage and poster layouts come out spelled correctly and typeset with intent. That is still the hardest thing in AI imagery, and the reason this model is in the catalog.
Speed controls (Turbo, Balanced, Quality, plus a cheaper Instant tier) let you iterate on layout quickly, then render the final at full quality.

Questions
Why is text in AI images usually garbled, and why is Ideogram V4 different?
Most diffusion models treat letters as texture. Ideogram is trained for typography, so titles, logos and labels render as correctly spelled text.
Can I use Ideogram V4 for video title cards?
Yes. Generate the card and drop it on the timeline as a still, or animate it with an image-to-video model. Layer Hiroska’s own animated text on top if you need motion typography.
What is the Ideogram V4 Instant tier?
A flat-priced faster variant without the speed selector: the cheap way to iterate on composition before a Quality-tier final.
