I played with a similar idea during my research fellowship at A*Star Singapore. Where I was trying to make synthetic engine data.
It was generated using an MNIST dataset and GANs(generative Adversarial Networks) and cGANs.
This is a similar image I got of the internet
Disclaimer: I was in sophomore year of collage and had no idea what I was doing
5 years later I tried doing it again.
But with LLMs.
Each font has bunch of letters called a glyphs
Glyphs look like this.
A glyph is made up of points, and directions on how to connect these points.
