WidthScribeCreate some truly unique artwork using the new Width Stamp Tool, by applying eye-catching prefaces and customising line widths and dashes. Take full control over the stamp pattern, using graph control and editing modes to really customise your design.
Use the Width Brush Tool to define aspects of your art with quick and simple sweeps. It offers the intuitive ease of a real brush and allows for a variety of artistic effects such as engraving style or natural drawing, fully preserving the editable vector nature of the artwork.
The Width Gradient Tool gives you the precision you need to boost perspective, enhance unique geometric patterns and sculpt by strokes. As with all of our plugins, we’ve made it easy for you to control with presets, live feedback and more for a great user experience.

Gain full control of your variable stroke widths in Illustrator with WidthScribe. Dynamic, organic and bursting with creative possibilities, these special stroke types offer much more control than equivalent brushes. This plugin overcomes the simple usr control offered natively, allowing selections to be controlled as one, plus refined and precise control where needed through intuitive on-screen controls and panels.
The second side of WidthScribe is Width Stamp which offers astonishing creative possibilities from artwork and image replication through stroke width tones, through to artwork for security printing (bank notes, passes and more).
