  • Edit glyphs in a word context
  • Advanced vector tools: Fit Curve, Open Corners, Reconnect Nodes, Nudge and many more handy features built-in
  • Live components, anchors and metric syncing
  • Extensive script and language support
  • Smart OpenType features
  • Import of OTF and TTF
  • Drag-and-drop import of SVG pictures
  • Export of OTF and PHF (PhotoFont)
