# Project: One Shot Font
#proj/oneshotfont
---
## Summary
Can I submit a piece of writing and use AI/ML to create a font from that handwriting? I think so. What's the state of the art these days?

## Thoughts
Create-your-own-font applications are kindof not great. They don't do a good job of ligatures and kerning, they don't provide the variability that you see in creating your own font. They do a simple one to one mapping of things. Also they don't do a good job taking your style and generating unwritten text in your style. For instance if I have never used a percentage sign in my writing, a well built platform should be able to predict how i would write a percent sign reasonably well.
