Overlapping glyphs

Hello there,

Im currently working on a rebranding where we use overlapping glyphs. During the design process i typed headlines in illustrator, gave them a fill and stroke, set kerning to -150, outlined them, and copied it to indesign.

Thanks to this process each glyph had a fill and an outline. And each letter was overlapping the previous one.

ive added some screenshots:

Now however the client wants to be able to create indesign templates where the headlines immediatly have this look. I was doing some trials in glyphs with layered fonts, but this creates 2 fontfiles that i need to supperposition. So not what im looking for.

Is it possible to export a layered font that has a green outline and black fill as 1 single font file? (also im quite new to glyphs, keep in mind that theres a lot of stuff i dont know :wink:

many thanks!

What of the two lines in the screenshot is the one need?

I need this, so stacked typography

This should be possible with a COLR font (Creating a Microsoft color font (CPAL/COLR) | Glyphs) or a svg font (Creating an SVG color font | Glyphs)
I have to check if the COLR font is supported in Adobe app. SVG fonts are supported.
