You can omit the laborious drawing of all characters in the font. Especially in a font that has several styles, it maintains a harmonious relationship across the entire spectrum.
I have to say that the feeling about using the tool is GREAT! I'm a lettering artist and always have material to digitise. I will work on it with LTTR/INK and let you know.
LTTR/INK narrows the gap between calligraphy and typeface design. It offers new possibilities for designing letters with strokes.
This is a must-have for everyone who wants to try or master their typography skills! It makes the process that usually takes a few hours into a 30-40 minute job.

Effortless modifying the brush controls in terms of size and angle
