As part of our "learning machine learning" project, we experimented with GANs to generate images of a certain "type", learning by example as it were.
In the following example, I used two versions of an uncomplicated font typeface, Luxisans, all capital letters. One version was monochrome and the other had a noise texture applied as follows:
These images were then rotated, sheared, and modulated in intensity to generate more data.
Here are some of the images it generated.

Modern Historically Correct Computer Phonetic Alphabet
v 0.1 Beta 3/10/2013
[in progress]
Tired
of being told words over the phone that you can not spell correctly
and have the person on the other end fail to enunciate what they mean
and too lazy to use an approved phonetic alphabet for voice
communication? Then consider
the following new, rationalized, technology appropriate phonetic
alphabet. The words suggested below are intended to be highly redundant and recognizable words that are unmistakable for any other word on the list, and either have some value in a computer historical sense, or allow the speaker to get out some of their frustration using good Anglo Saxon idiom.
Each
comma separated phrase is as good as another, there is no particular
expressed priority between the terms. In other words, Burroughs is
as good as Burnout.
