It would be interesting to automate the creation of fonts from historical documents by training CNNs to extract suitable sample letters and transform them.

That wouldn't be a replacement for serious projects like this, where an actual typographer was paid to work for 160 hours. But it could be fun to try lots of documents and see how the fonts they yield vary.
