The use of typography in video allows us to reclaim the lost art of arranging typefaces in a way that would make an 18th century typesetter’s head spin.
This type of art is also known as Kinetic typography.
The text is presented in a manner intended to convey or evoke a particular idea or emotion.
In this compilation we showcase 18 creative uses of kinetic typography which include short movies made with After Effects, stop motion animation and other techniques.
