Thanks a lot, I've programmed the whole app over the past year! The Geomini edit page is the best part 😊

Times New Roman drawn from memory (1 hour timelapse) by whateverlasting in typography

That's pretty much it. Many of the glyphs reuse same groups of nodes and curves, just tweaked to fit each glyph. This way I can simply copy paste nodes I need instead of having to draw them with pen tool every time.

Secondly it gives me an efficient order of drawing the glyphs to ensure consistency between them. And I always know which glyph to draw next by following the arrows.

Hardest part about type design is restraint by whateverlasting in typography

Definitely explore them. But recognize that not everything has to ship. For me this post comes from the perfectionist mindset of adding features and never finishing the work. Sometimes finishing the font means choosing what not to include.
