In FontLab VI, you can Harmonize your curves to make them really fluid, or “G2 curvature continuous” in math-speak. Make your node a Genius, which stays fluid even if you move the handles. View the Curvature to prove it. Curves even stay smooth and true to their form when you Simplify a contour or remove some nodes with Eraser. No software does it better, say the mathematicians.
We’ve been developing our curvature tools in collaboration with type designers and mathematicians. Łukasz Dziedzic, Bogusław Jackowski and Piotr Strzelczyk invented the Genius node, and Yanone’s SpeedPunk inspired us to implement the colorized Curvature comb. Thanks!
FontLab VI is our next-generation professional font editor, crafted for type designers and font geeks. FontLab VI is the only true cross-platform type design and font creation app, and a massive upgrade over our workhorse FontLab Studio 5.
