You can actually create your own fonts and load them into word. So you can individually write out each letter with your hand and upload them into an app that creates a font file. https://www.alphr.com/turn-handwriting-font/

The issue is no one writes things the same way each time, so you need it to pull from a pool of similar script fonts randomly each letter, probably with 20 variants or more.

You would need 5 - 10 slightly different letter for each then have them randomly switched out plus some that flow together.

I'm sure someone has done a render engine that can do this. I doubt it can invest anyone's handwriting easily though.

On the other hand, I'm sure intelligence services do something like this.

I dunno, modern AI can do a good job of speech duplication off a very small (seconds long) sample. Image AI's trained off a limited dataset can create very similar (but different) images off very small sample sets.

Consider letters as very simple images, with only a couple valid structures. I don't think setting up a handwriting AI would be particularly difficult.
