What Is Ideogram 3?
The reason to reach for Ideogram 3 is text inside the image. Ask most diffusion models for a poster headline reading "SUMMER SOUND 2026" and you get misspelled or mushy letterforms; Ideogram 3 gets short and medium headlines right far more often. Style is handled through the Style Type option, so you do not need to pile style words into the prompt.
