This is super cool!

A random FYI: the demo seems to consistently fail on the letter x when using style #9 and typing out:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

I tried a few different spots on the legibility slider with similar results..

It draws the first "top left to bottom right" line, but then instead of a "top right to bottom left" it draws another "top left to bottom right" next to it..

Try "fox" in style 2 with maximum legibility. It goes loop-the-loop several times.

Seeing this had a strong uncanny valley like effect on me. Like my brain can't help but imagine a sentient agent writing the text and suddenly becoming psychotic.
