Have you ever seen a font that already comes in color?

That's exactly what a color font is. Instead of a single outline, each glyph can contain multiple colored shapes that work together as one letter. The result is typography that's ready to use with beautifully crafted color palettes built right into the font.

Of course, every project is different. Sometimes ready-made palettes are exactly what you need; other times, you want to build your own; here is where layered typefaces can be used. Each layer is provided as an individual font, allowing you to mix, match, and recolor them directly in your design software. Layered fonts work just like regular fonts. 

On the other hand, Color Fonts are now supported by many desktop applications and modern web browsers, making it easier than ever to bring colorful typography into branding, packaging, editorial projects, and websites.

Two technologies, one typeface.

Meet Phylum, the newest release from CocijoType.

Phylum is a display typeface that brings elegance and celebration together. Inspired by the glamour of the Art Deco era, it balances refined geometry with a playful spirit, making it ideal for invitations, packaging, and every occasion worth celebrating.

Available both as a layered typeface and as a Color Font, Phylum combines the flexibility of layered typography with the convenience of ready-to-use palettes. Its three individual layers let you create your own color combinations to match any project. When you need something ready to use, the Color Font version includes eight color palettes that work in design applications with color font support and are also available as a webfonts,the predefined color palettes can be accessed directly through CSS from palette 0 to 7:

@font-face {
      font-family: Phylum;
      src: url(Phylum-Web.woff2);
    }

@font-palette-values --Christmas {
      font-family: Phylum;
      base-palette: 0;
    }

Phylum is just the beginning. We're exploring the creative possibilities of layered typefaces and Color Fonts, and another release is already on the way. Stay tuned—we can't wait to share what's next.
