Member one… Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform I'm interested in layered fonts like History (Typotheque), I've looked on Myfonts with the chromatic tag and they all look very similar, even the H&FJ one isn't that interesting... edit: Just found Funcity Link to comment

Member Nic… Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Minimum has an interesting bi-chromatic effect with horizontal and vertical lines. Link to comment
Member Ant… Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 We wrote a piece on Webfonts.info about layered type. It's a CSS tutorial but we featured several examples of stackable type. Anthony Link to comment

Member Nic… Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Here’s one I developed for The Globe and Mail: This was set by typing PpEeXx. The majuscule characters provide the outline of the glyph, the minuscule the body; each character is half the width of the composite glyph. The advantage of this method is that there are no layers with the resulting issue of selection and registration, and one may adjust colors in the color palette without selecting any of the text. The disadvantage is that it only works for one case of letters. It would work with normal text if “one to many” substitutions were implemented in OpenType. Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I find it retarded in 2012 that this capability isn't already built into OTF Link to comment
Member Ste… Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 And the one that is almost never used chromatically: Rosewood. Link to comment

Member Nic… Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Ironic indeed that Rosewood Fill got more usage than the two-tone version. Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 How hard would it be to include layers with assignable rgb color codes in OTF? Link to comment
