Features: multiple artboards in a single project; precise font size, tracking, and leading controls; variable fonts and supported axis controls; alignment and rich text formatting; text layer rotation, horizontal scaling, and opacity; a curated bundled font library; PNG export for selected or all artboards; light and dark appearance.
