chromatic type
chromatic type is display lettering printed in multiple overlapping layers and contrasting inks to create a vibrant, multi-colored dimensional design.
Leverage ink overlays. Chromatic type relies on translucent inks intersecting to create secondary colors. Always name two primary or contrasting ink colors (like vermilion and cobalt) and prompt for the third hue created where they overlap.
Introduce misregistration. Perfect alignment flattens the effect. Prompt for slight physical offsets or misregistration between the color layers to expose the multi-pass printing process and ground the type in tactile craft.
