I think this is the most interesting video in the thread: https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1438888791905865730
It'd be probably more realistic if it included random noise or used a GAN model to generate a unique looking letter every time.

So it does introduce random variation. I had the employee write each letter ~15 times, and then they are plucked at random and then more "wobble" is applied randomly. So each character is slightly altered from what she wrote. Her original stroke actually never shows up anywhere, which is kinda funny to think about.
Letter spacing, word spacing, line spacing (y pos), line starting point (xpos), and baseline drift are all random as well.
I don't know how to write and or use a GAN model so I didn't. Maybe next time!
Did you consider varying intraline individual character y pos? The videos look like not.
It doesn't look like it on the video because we're talking a few millimeters or less. But when you stand back from it you see that the baselines aren't exactly straight.
Also, thanks for the A in ACCT 229!
Great work all around!
