Hey,
I hope you’re doing well!
I’m working on a type project where I need to create a typeface with expanding letter outlines. However, when I use the variable feature to expand the outline, it ends up overlapping with the preceding letter, which I’d like to avoid. Ideally, I’d like to create an “envelope” around the entire word or sentence so that the outline expands without any overlap.
I thought about using a color font feature, as it works with layers and could allow the back layer to expand. However, I’m still encountering the same issue with overlapping letters.
I’ve attached a screenshot: the top example shows the overlapping issue I’m facing, while the bottom one represents the result I’m aiming for.
Do you have any recommendations? Perhaps sensitive glyphs or other color font options could help?
Thank you!
