An image synthesis model called Flux can reproduce someone's handwriting very accurately if trained to do so.

The resulting handwriting is dynamic, and no two letters are rendered in exactly the same way.

Unlike a font in a word processor, you can natively insert the handwriting into AI -generated scenes, such as signs, cartoons, billboards, chalkboards.

An AI-generated image created by a Redditor using Flux and a special model trained on Tolkien 's handwriting.

The handwriting-cloning technique he discovered was now public knowledge.

Replicate a screenshot of the original J.R. Tolkien handwriting LoRA before its creator took it down in late August 2024 .
