Very nice, it reminds me of the approach of Mischief[1]

"What makes Mischief tick? Mischief uses Adaptively Sampled Distance Fields (ADFs), originally invented and developed by Ron and Sarah at Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs and further enhanced by 61 Solutions. ADFs are a new digital representation of shape which provide numerous advantages including high quality anti-aliasing, very fast rendering, support for massive parallelism, very small file sizes, and the ability to succinctly represent variable-width, scalable, textured strokes. This technology is protected by over 50 patents."

I'd been looking for Paper/Sketchology type apps for desktops but the only solutions looked to be overly complicated vector apps like Illustrator and Inkscape. Had never heard of Mischief before thanks.
