I've never seen before overlapping "semitransparent" letters. In a bold move you've broke established old rules, and expanded the horizons of typespace. Is it the beginning of a new avant-garde? 10/10
Smashing idea. I think the shapes stand alone even when not overlapped. I really dig the negative space created when you set words. Lots of different shapes to be had depending on the letter combinations. Looks fantastic in simple B&W too.
Thanks, afrojet. The negative shapes is all this fontstruction is about. It is clearly a work-in-process. Lots of problems with the letters, especially in the overall consistency of glyph optical widths, stem thickness, etc. I rushed it out because I couldn't wait to share it. Maybe I'm not such a perfectionist after all. :-)
Thanks, funkking. Overlap is not a very good name, I agree. Too literal. Maybe I should learn from JoyDivision/NewOrder/Electronic and name it something esoteric. Shadow and Light is very becoming.

Another beauty out of your bag of tricks.
@ray: I know the rainbow was a 70s throwback, I just wanted to show how different color would interact with each other to form new colors.
@mr.baggins: It's fake transparency. :-)
@NCD: minimum finally does a usable font. hell must've frozen over. ;-)
@ghurl: Thank you. I'm not sure what your question is exactly.
@cayo: This is one of those throw-away fonts, shared just because. I'm not sure what utility it may provide. Thanks for liking it.

Usefull for a great poster :D
This is an awesome font. Must've taken a lot of work.
Or, you can become a patron, learn how layers work, figure out the colors, then clone this.
There is nearly no support for FS color fonts outside of FS itself and I think Glyphs
I think it's the SVG format that FontStruct uses for color
