Fonts and Video Collide: Kinetic Typography

3 COMMENTS
By:

Fonts, when used well, can be absolutely beautiful. However when many people think of typography, they likely envision some sort of poster or graphic design, or perhaps even web design. That said, there is something that makes fonts especially wonderful in video as the power of kinetic typography brings words and letters to life through movement.

Below are some examples of a few of our favorite fonts given the kinetic typography treatment. If you’d like to learn more about fonts check out Typekit, which will be included in the Creative Cloud membership.

    Nice collection. I’m a bit confused about which program this is promoting? Illustrator or PS? Thanks
