Vexy Vextra adds the contour tools type designers have had for years and Illustrator somehow never got.


An ideal tool for lettering.
Merge Delete, Tunni lines, Genius (G2-smooth) and tangent nodes, auto-measurement, Slide, Nudge and Power Nudge, Make Overlaps, Loops, Smart Corners — everything you use every day in your favorite font tool — now works in Illustrator.
Actually Good Autotracer comes as a bonus.

Is "Actually Good Autotracer" the real name? I love it.0 -
