How to Use the OpenType Features

You can use outline forms, filled forms or combine them. Get outline forms by hitting any letter on the keyboard (example below: y). Add a 1 after the letter to replace the outline with the corresponding filled version. Now you can apply different colors and by hitting the same letter y once more, followed by a 2 you let the two forms slide over each other. Alternatively you can select the forms from the glyphs palette in Adobe graphic programs.
