The goals look quite similar to my hyperbezier explorations. There's an online demo of the first draft[1], and a Zulip thread on some progress toward a second draft[2]. The tl;dr is that I think I have the mathematics of the curve family, but I haven't finished the mapping between control points and the parameters of the curve family.

Both drafts have (exact) Euler spirals inside their parameter space, and thus circular arcs as well. I think that's a good criterion for a Bézier successor.

It's on the back burner for now, but I hope to get back to it, and am open to collaboration.
