Picking up from a
Typophile thread about situations where an extremum node can be omitted (e.g. in a slightly swelling side of a serif), I'm seeking more opinions on this question:
If I have a shallow serpentine curve like this, is it better to forgo the inflection and keep the extrema (top), forgo the extrema and keep the inflection (middle), or have nodes at both even if it compromises the curve (bottom)?
Comments
Especially since you are dealing with a serif curve treatment and not defining stems or alignments zones, I would even ditch the inflection.
My experience has been that sometimes less is often more.
Add vectors only if the overall effect is improved.
