When applying smoothing to polygon shapes in #paragraphic you can also set negative values to get sharp points instead of smoothed corners. Or smoothing values above 1 for super-ellipse style shapes. Find out more and try it at paragraphic.design

#paragraphic tip of the day: When modifying parameter values using the hover slider controls you can use Shift to snap the values to larger increments and you can use Alt/Option to change the slider range to +/-1 to make smaller value adjustments.
