" In most designs typography is used to present information in a rather static way — after all, it has to be read by users. However, it doesn’t have to be like this. What effects can be achieved if typography is set in motion? What happens if letters are suddenly floating, jumping and dancing around while sentences are actually interacting with the readers?

Where motion is involved, video is necessary. Below we present some excellent examples of typography embedded into movies and videos — be prepared, “dynamic” typography can be breathtaking.

1 Cuarteto de Nos - Typographic music video

: This music video of the Spanish Uruguayan band Cuarteto de Nos is mostly based upon typography. For our purposes it isn’t important what the song is actually about — the brilliant performance of typography makes a lasting impression. The colors are chosen wisely and carefully. The combination of letters, illustration and text effects is simply incredible. A must-see for typography lovers.




2 Alex Gopher - The Child
: A video created by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet for the French DJ Alex Gopher.
A world made only with typography. Cult video for fonts lovers and graphic designers.


3 Pulp Fiction in Typography

: What Does Mr. Wallace Look Like?


4 The Hush Sound - The Lions Roar

: So simple, yet so beautiful.
Apparently, sometimes you just need to follow your inspiration.
The rest isn’t that important.


5 Typographics
Typography is what language looks like. A brief movie about typography with interacting typographic elements.
