Chromatic Etruscan is a display typeface inspired by the wood type faces called the same name that were produced by William Page & Co. in the late 1800s. Originally created for advertising posters and similar purposes, this typeface was specifically designed to be utilized in color. The font family consisted of oversized letterforms, allowing it to make a bold impact on viewers. Chromatic Etruscan pays homage to this historical style while incorporating modern elements. It maintains the essence of the original typeface, preserving its vibrant and eye-catching qualities. This display typeface is ideal for projects that require a visually striking and colorful aesthetic, capturing the essence of its 19th-century predecessor in a contemporary context.

This is Chromatic Etruscan, a font by John Stracke, loosely based on a family of wood type faces of the same name sold by William Page & Co. in the late 19th century. The original type face was manufactured at very large sizes, for use on advertising posters and similar, and it was designed to be used in color. Page advanced the state of the art in wood type, improving how accurately the different colors matched up. As far as I know, the original typeface did not have any lowercase letters, so, for this font, I have used small capitals.
To produce color, this font uses the SVG-in-OpenType standard, which is new as of 2017. As of August 2017, it is supported in Firefox, in Edge (the default browser on Windows 10), in Photoshop 2017, and perhaps in some other Windows 10 apps (the operating system provides API support for it). In other apps, Chromatic Etruscan will be displayed as an ordinary black-and-white font.
Chromatic Etruscan is distributed under the SIL Open Font License. The current version, 0.9, covers all of ASCII and Latin-1, with basic kerning.
