Bezier

The delicate dance of a designer's cursor, manipulating the unseen levers of a Bézier curve, is a quiet conversation between intention and algorithm. These control handles, popularized by French engineer Pierre Bézier for Renault in the 1960s, don't lie on the curve themselves, but their position dictates its precise arc and velocity. Through them, a gentle tug translates into complex polynomial calculations, a silent handshake where artistic vision is mathematically obeyed. The underlying de Casteljau's algorithm recursively interpolates points, transforming abstract math into smooth, scalable forms used everywhere from fonts to car bodies.
