Drawing better looking curves / Observable

Discover insights faster and communicate more effectively with interactive notebooks for data analysis, visualization, and exploration.

"I've recently been learning about how to draw smoother curves that look more appealing. A common technique in professional CAD and font design software is to use a visualisation technique called a curvature comb to see how sharp or flat a curve is along its path. Here's an example of a curvature comb being used in Fontlab VI to smooth out bumpy spots in a font...
