SDF(or mSDF) isn't the future. It's already "good enough" classic.

I wrote an implementation of the Loop/Blinn paper for Microsoft Game Studios ~20 years ago, I wonder if they're still using it.

Had to do a _lot_ of work to make it production-ready, as their voronoi-based tesselation goes pathological on a lot of Asian glyphs.
