Seventeen art-directed kinetic typography templates with exact presets: typeface strobe (one word through nine faces), one-word-per-beat slams, word corridor tunnel, perspective photo wall, type specimen grid, justified manifesto, Didone city title, scanned-sheet glitch wordmark, hyphen bridge wordmark, CRT decrypt, particle burst, anime command screen, photocopy explainer, echo stack over a halftone portrait, glyph-tracking terminal camera, bitten word and liquid art reveal. Presets cover beat maths (frames per beat), letter-spacing, free font pairings for Didone, condensed, grotesk and mono looks, riso and paper palettes in hex, 3D camera values and seeded glitch timing, from Art of the Title, Practical Typography, Fonts In Use and motion designers on X. Use when someone wants a kinetic type intro, a manifesto or lyric-style type piece, a wordmark animation or a typographic poster in motion. NOT for subtitles (caption-styles) or broadcast lower thirds (title-design).

# Kinetic type art: 17 art-directed typography pieces on the beat

Seventeen typography pieces where type is the picture. They share one craft: cut on the beat, hold between beats, space letters like a typographer, and keep every glitch discrete and seeded so it renders the same twice.

## Gates

- **Technique, not someone's work.** Named designers and title sequences are cited for technique; never reproduce an artist's drawings, a film's title card or a brand's wordmark.
- **Readability ceiling.** At most 20 characters per second on screen; one word per beat is safe up to about 180 BPM.
- **Free fonts only.** Every font in the presets is OFL or Apache. Swap in the person's brand font only if they have a license for video.
- **Seek-safe.** Every value is a function of timeline time; randomness is seeded by frame. No `Date.now()`, `requestAnimationFrame` or unseeded `Math.random()`.
- **No credits here.** These templates render locally for free. Generated footage, voice or music is the varg-ai skill: call `estimate_cost` and wait for the person's approval before any generation.
