While jobhunting , I got intrigued by this:
I wonder if this technology does or could exist realistically.
</code></div><pre class="CodeBlock"><code><div><code>AI Calligraphy Generator – Build Tool to Turn Spreadsheet into Custom Handwriting Art
<br>Summary<br>We’re looking for a creative technologist or ML developer to help us build a custom tool that generates unique, high-res calligraphy-style artwork from a spreadsheet of names and addresses. The tool must accurately mimic the distinctive calligraphy of an LA-based calligraphy artist, using her scanned samples as training data.
<p><br>Her calligraphy merges the expressive quality of line drawing with a sense of emotional wildness and fluidity. Her lettering feels spontaneous and alive, marked by sweeping loops, dramatic curves, and confident irregularities that evoke both motion and mood. The style carries a strong illustrative presence—bold yet graceful, with a visual rhythm that leans more toward art than ornament. It sits at the intersection of precision and play, refusing uniformity in favor of a dynamic, imaginative aesthetic.<br><br>Requirements:<br>• Input: spreadsheet (CSV or XLSX) with names/addresses<br>• Output: one high-resolution (1200 DPI or higher) image per row, matching artist’s calligraphy<br>• No font—each output must be unique and mimic human strokes<br>• Built using Python, handwriting synthesis tools, or custom fine-tuned model<br>• Output should be clean enough for vectorization<br>• May want scripting to turn final art into vector too.<br><br>We will provide 30–100 labeled samples (image + text), style references, and spreadsheets for testing.<br><br>Please apply if you have experience with:<br>• Generative models (Stable Diffusion, GANs, handwriting synthesis)<br>• Python and image processing (OpenCV, PIL)<br>• Creative AI tools (e.g., RunwayML, Replicate)<br>• Automation or design pipelines</p>

    From 30 to 100 sample images? I have doubts.

    I read "Hourly" as "Hobby" there for a moment ;)

    Also: is the LA-based calligraphy artist fine with her work being synthesized?

    And if they only want to do this for ONE calligrapher with ONE style... why not just make a font and use that? Why even use AI at all? There are existing systems for this that can automate much of it
