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.
1999 Disney "Tarzan" archive consists of various digital and physical media preserved on the Internet Archive
One of the most significant aspects of Tarzan's production is the revolutionary animation system. Before we had access to various Tarzan 1999 archive materials online, the film itself was a groundbreaking leap forward for hand-drawn animation.
For video game preservation, look for files explicitly marked as "abandonware" or community-verified rips to avoid malware.
The commercial archives of the 1999 release capture the height of late-90s movie marketing. The promotional blitz included: tarzan 1999 archive
Released at the twilight of the millennium, Disney’s Tarzan (1999) represented the grand finale of the historic Disney Renaissance. It was a visual and auditory triumph, blending pioneering deep-canvas digital technology with an iconic, Grammy-winning soundtrack by Phil Collins. Decades later, the film enjoys a massive revival through online archiving.
: To capture Tarzan’s high-speed movement through the jungle, Disney developed "Deep Canvas". This revolutionary 3D software allowed artists to "paint" 3D geometry in a virtual space, creating immersive backgrounds that looked like traditional brush paintings while allowing the camera to move dynamically in every direction.
Preserving a movie from 1999 presents unique archival hurdles. The late 90s sat on the cusp of the analog-to-digital transition. 1999 Disney "Tarzan" archive consists of various digital
Disney's Tarzan (1999) remains a high-water mark for the , serving as the studio's last major traditional animation success of the 20th century. Whether you are a dedicated film historian or a fan looking for a deep dive into the archives, the production of this film represents a pivotal moment when hand-drawn art met digital innovation. The Creation of "Tree Surfing"
: The directors drew inspiration from late-90s extreme sports like skateboarding and snowboarding to define Tarzan's movement, creating a unique "tree surfing" style where he uses his feet to grip vines and branches. Technical Breakthrough: Deep Canvas The most significant item in the technical archive for is the invention of Deep Canvas The Problem
Meanwhile, online archivists have banded together. Websites like Tarzan1999.org (fan-run) and The Animation Archive have crowdsourced scans of press kits, international poster variations (the Japanese poster famously omits Terk), and even 35mm open-matte scans that reveal details cropped from home video. The commercial archives of the 1999 release capture

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.)
We’ve put together a few of our trusted resources for working with color fonts in our Help documentation. If you don’t see what you need over there, reach out to us directly at and let us know what you’re working on. We’ll be more than happy to help you out.
If you’re a font developer, you’re in great company! We’ve put together recommended resources for you on a Help page. You’re welcome to email us at , too — whether you have a question about how to set up the SVG table, or if you want to ask about adding your fonts to the Typekit library.
