Quill - in brief:

Quill is a pen-and-ink freehand vector drawing package that 
combines the speed and responsiveness of a painting package with 
the smooth rescalable output of vector graphics.

It is the first program to properly emulate naturalistic drawing 
and writing with a shaped nib or italic pen.

Quill records every flick of your pen - or mouse - and renders each 
stroke in flawless curves - drawn in the nib of your choice.

The nib can be edited (choose square or rounded, then squash, 
rotate, stripe and resize) both before and after drawing - so you 
can mould its shape and weight to best express a particular sketch 
or lettering.

Individual pen strokes can be moved or deleted - with the flexible 
zoom option allowing precise adjustments.

A reversible UNDO effects all graphic operations.

Quill saves in its own vector format, and exports bit image files 
at any size and resolution.

Ideal for signatures, handlettering, calligraphy, tracing, 
cartoons and sketches.
