As I noted, it's trivial.
Given a font named Example, w/ variants called Example Outline and
Example Solid one would do something like:
\newcommand{\knockedouttype}[1]{\begin{picture}(0,0)\put(0,0)
{\textcolor{white}{\fontspec{Example Solid}#1}}\end{picture}
\textcolor{black}{\fontspec{Example Outline}}}
Not tested, not even sure if I got the grouping right --- but one has
to have the fonts first.
If you don't, I'd suggest using Cenon to convert type to paths and set
the colours as desired:
