Type in Motion 7

MOSHUN


TYPOGAMI


This is the first time that I have seen anything like this. These two videos are fonts designed for After Effects.

Regardless of motion, I think that motion is a very creative typeface. It's not an average "safe" font. They got really creative with geometry, and wasn't afraid to have a LOT of variation between letterforms. For instance, the letters H, U, I, C, O, and S don't have any solid black, but V is almost entirely solid black, and K and A have tons of black in the letterform. I guess the way to tell if it's effective or not is if it looks unified, it does, and if it is legible, it is.

I don't like Typogami as much as Moshun, but it's still a very cool animated font. I like that all of the opening animations are the same rectangle, and then fold into their letterform. The beginning shows this green color that makes it look very pixelated and nasty, but the zoomed in version at the end shows it in different colors and with customizeable shadows, light position, and fold angle! Wow, I (now that I've seen the ending) like this just as much as Moshun.

I really like the idea of motion in letterforms. It would be cool to see something like this get standardized, as normal fonts have. I think that any project merging mediums is a worthy endeavor.
