A new gradient variable font to take the most out of the COLRv1 format
Kalnia Glaze is a new typeface commissioned by Google Fonts, that experiments with the new color font technology in variable fonts, inviting you to step into a world of color and add vibrancy and depth to your projects.
Kalnia Glaze is the result of an broad exploration of the latest COLRv1 format and it's integration with the variable font technology. The objective was not only to create a complex layered design to explore the possibilities of the format but also to streamline and expedite the process, minimizing the need for manual adjustments through software and emphasizing the automation of processes using paintcompiler, a program by Simon Cozens.
COLRv1 is the latest version of the color font format combining transparency, gradients, and variable font technology. As one of the advantages of the format, it's possible to change the color palettes in code. Kalnia Glaze is designed for both light and dark modes color palettes, with easily accessible palettes through CSS. CSS also offers easy and powerful customization options using the "override-colors" property
This font uses the COLRv1 and CPAL tables. Please visit the gf-guide color page to learn more about Color Fonts technology.
