Designing with multilayered fonts in Webflow

Layered fonts, such as Sutro Shaded, offer a creative way to add depth and color to text elements on websites by enabling the use of multiple colors and textures within a single piece of text. Despite their ability to provide a unique look, layered fonts are not commonly used on the web due to the complex layout techniques required and the additional file weight they can introduce, which can slow down a site. When used in conjunction with Webflow CMS, designers can create dynamic and visually appealing titles by layering different variations of a font, though it is important to limit the number of font layers to avoid performance issues. The tutorial uses Sutro Shaded, available through Adobe CC's Typekit, to demonstrate how to effectively apply these fonts by creating multiple layers for different text elements using CSS position attributes, while emphasizing careful management of font weight to ensure optimal website performance.
