This page demonstrates new color font technology. For the progressively enhanced color font experience, try a browser that supports the technology, like Firefox or Microsoft Edge (version 38 or later).
Adobe’s new color fonts use an innovative font technology that allows built-in SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) to enhance the way the fonts appear. This new standard allows color information to be stored inside a font and could change the way people interact with type.
You can use fonts anywhere, just like the fonts you’re used to on your computer or website — but since color fonts are so new, we’re still in the early days of realizing their potential. If you’re a font developer, this is a great time to jump in — please join us!
We’re excited to highlight this technology and share these fonts with you since there’s a lot more to learn about how they can be used. In the following articles we’ll dive a little more into the new technology and the development process for Trajan Color Concept and EmojiOne Color.

Trajan Color Concept is part of the Adobe Type Concepts program for early releases of new typefaces. It was designed as an internship project by Sérgio Martins, colorizing Carol Twombly’s Trajan typeface. The font contains 19 different color variations, plus two black and white options, accessible via OpenType stylistic sets.
Browser support for color fonts is still evolving, but exists in Firefox and Microsoft Edge (IE), and we expect more browser manufacturers will adopt the format before long. In browsers that lack color font support, they will fall back to regular monochrome glyphs. For more info, check the following links:
Color fonts like Trajan Color Concept and EmojiOne Color will appear just like typical fonts in your programs’ font menus — but they may not display their full potential, since many programs don’t yet have full support for the color components.
When an application lacks color font support, you’ll see the plain black version of the glyphs as a fallback. (If it sounds to you like this makes them challenging to use, you’d be right — which is one reason why Trajan Color is still considered a concept font.)
