    As someone diagnosed with dysgraphia, clean handwriting like this blows my mind. If i were doing this id need to use rng to pick alternates of the same letter.

    If the side by side wasn’t so vertically aligned Im not sure I could tell the difference.

      Tangentially, E. W. Dijkstra's handwriting is the cleanest I've seen, and I had the same feeling you did when I came across his papers in his archive.

      I later came across this blog post: https://joshldavis.com/2013/05/20/the-path-to-dijkstras-hand..., which prompted me to improve my own handwriting as well.

      I'm not diagnosed but family suspects I have it. Probably because I avoid writing wherever possible and prefer typing.

    This is very cool. Based on the title, I thought this would end with an example of using this font for code. I'd still be interested in seeing an example of that.

    This is wonderful! I've always wanted to do something similar, but with NNs, just as a way to get familiar with them.
