HWT American Chromatic FONT Download

HWT American Chromatic was designed by William Page, Richard Kegler, Terry Wüdenbachs and published by Hamilton Wood Type Foundry. HWT American Chromatic contains 8 styles and family package options.  

The HWT American Chromatic set is a multilayered font set that will allow for thousands of possible color and pattern combinations. The original 19th Century Chromatic upon which this font set is based included two fonts. The HWT digital version includes eight. The alignment is configured to allow any combination of the eight fonts to all align when identical text is set and arranged, one on top of the other.

Due to the highly decorative nature of this font set, the character set is limited to upper case only with basic punctuation. Five of the eight fonts in the set can be used individually as variations of the classic Tuscan style of wood type, which is defined by its concave stems and serifs. There are no accented characters due to the ornate nature of the design and because there were no accents originally intended for this design.

This font is best used at sizes of 72 pt or larger and is ideal for a wide array of design uses.

For webfont use, CSS with z-index and position will allow for easy online layering.
