• pen style

You mean across the different designs? Seems easy, its just different pair-point widths and angles..?

• apex trimming

That seems easy to handle with pair-points, the right side has co-positioned points.

• open/closed loops

That's seems easy, its just moving the point down-right to close it.

• diminished tail curvature

• simplification

That's easy, its just moving points and adjusting tension/direction values

• lack of alignment to head/base lines

That's seems easy, its just moving the point
