Colorfont and Chromatic Prints
displaychromatic / colour font
A chromatic display typeface from Australian Type Foundry drawing on historical layered colour printing and wood type traditions.
About
The typeface engages with the tradition of chromatic wood type, where multiple passes of ink created layered colour effects in letterpress printing. Modern colour font technology is used to revive and extend this aesthetic for contemporary use. The result sits at the intersection of typographic history and current screen and print capabilities.
