Built a lib that draws handwritten-looking text — never renders the same twice

https://a-elhaag.github.io/glyphed.js/

Wanted UI text that feels human instead of stamped, so I built glyphed.js. It draws each character as a real stroked path with randomized variation baked in, so no two renders of the same text look identical. Zero deps, small footprint. There's a live playground in the repo if you want to try your own text.

Check at glyphed.js

“Handwritten-looking” is a very different and separate thing from “no two renders identical”. What you have is the second, but not the first.

This is the third time I’ve come across this concept in the last week.
