Glyphs 4, a Mac-native application for designing fonts, lettering, icons, and pictograms, has been released with support for flexible strokes, shape reuse across glyph sets, and higher-order interpolation for variable vector designs.
Font designers and icon creators working on macOS gain an updated native tool with improved support for complex variable font workflows. The higher-order interpolation feature addresses the increasing complexity of variable typeface families. Shape reuse across large glyph sets could reduce repetitive manual work in big projects.
