#colrv1

So I was trying to detect browser support for COLRv1 font palettes. I thought this would work:

.colrv1-supported-area {
display: none;
}

@supports (font-palette: --1) {
.colrv1-supported-area {
display: block;
}
}

But it does not. The .colrv1-supported-area block shows up even in Safari Desktop and on iOS where COLRv1 palettes are not supported.

Anyone out there have a working solution for this? Or should I just give up on detecting support?

I made stickers for my typeface Velzyland and I’m so happy with how they turned out. Velzyland includes a COLRv1 color variable font so all of the color gradients, depth and highlights you see here are built in to the font itself, along with other color pallets and variable depth and highlight axes. I love making exuberant merch like this to go with an exuberant typeface like Velzyland #typefaceDesign #COLRv1 #variableFonts #typeface #design #font #graphicDesign #colorFonts #velzylandTypeface #CJType #sticker #hologram

We have just been asked, if it is possible to make variable fonts with transparency and gradients.
Sure you can … Thanks to #COLRv1 … the question is, if you will be able to use them anywhere.
Quick proof of concept made in @fontlab 8, tested in #FontGauntlet on @Vivaldi

Some of them just two of them, in different proportions.

New platform, new techniques.

The TransformX conference, organised by Scale in Oct 2022, used a colour version of the Plakato font. The COLRv1 font format allows us type designers to add colours to fonts. Such new techniques will then become first possible in browsers, but other applications will soon follow. At the TransformX conference, the speakers were announced with the font Plakato Color (COLRv1 format) in a colour palette that matches the identity of the conference.

Has anyone tried to implement visual compensation for text color before with either color fonts or a variable axis? Example from Lettering for Reproduction by David Gates, 1969 #typedesign #variablefonts #COLRv1

Section of book page: “Since original lettering is almost always done in black and white, the letterer must adjust spatial relationships to allow for weight changes that will occur if the lettering is to be printed in gray or in color. An example of this can be seen in the lower case i. The dot over a gray i needs to be closer than the dot over a black i.”
