New platform, new techniques.

The TransformX conference, organised by Scale in Oct 2022, used a colour version of the Plakato font. The COLRv1 font format allows us type designers to add colours to fonts. Such new techniques will then become first possible in browsers, but other applications will soon follow. At the TransformX conference, the speakers were announced with the font Plakato Color (COLRv1 format) in a colour palette that matches the identity of the conference.
