Edge rendering of fractals emphasizes different structures within the shapes, and also produces different aesthetic effects, especially when different pen and background colors are used:

Coming soon: images created with the new geometry renderer! The Mathaesthetics flagship app that produces all these images will be released in 2020. You can follow Mathaesthetics on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
