During the summer of 2014 I interned at Gupta Media. I was asked to create an animated typeface to use in Gupta's lyric videos and animations.
I initially researched many different typefaces on Adobe Typekit and created animated gifs to showcase the type of animation style I wanted to replicate. We decided to animate Lust Didone because the compression and expansion of the letterforms reminded me of the swelling crescendos and decrescendos of classical music. |
After the initial motion style was established, I animated the keyword "hamburgevons" which contains the design building blocks of every letter in the alphabet. I experimented with many different entrance and exiting animations for the letters as well.

Finally, I built out the rest of the letters, numbers and punctuation to create a full functioning animated typeface.
