About this service
Kinetic typography makes the words themselves the visual. It works for ads with a sharp message, social videos watched without sound, quotes and lyric videos. We design the type, time it precisely to the voice-over or beat, and keep every line on screen long enough to read on a phone.
Movement that serves the meaning
Weak kinetic typography moves every word because it can. Text spins, bounces, slides and scales until the viewer is following the motion rather than the message. Strong kinetic typography uses movement to show meaning: a word grows because it matters, a phrase slows down because the voice slows down, a list builds one item at a time.
We start with the script or audio and mark the words that carry the message. Those get emphasis through size, weight, colour or timing. The rest stays calm. The result feels energetic without being tiring, and a viewer who remembers nothing else remembers the key line.
Readable on a phone, without sound
Most kinetic text videos are watched on phones, often with sound off. That sets hard limits. Lines must stay on screen long enough to read twice, roughly a third of a second per word as a minimum. Type must be large enough to read at arm's length. Text must stay clear of the areas where social platforms place buttons, captions and usernames.
We check every version on a real phone at normal speed. Where the script has too many words for the time available, we suggest cuts rather than speeding up the text. A 30-second video with 50 well-chosen words lands better than one with 100 that nobody can follow.

Questions
How much text fits in 30 seconds?
Around 60 to 75 words if it is read aloud, fewer if the text stands alone. Too many words is the most common reason kinetic videos feel rushed.
Does it work without sound?
Yes, that is one of its strengths. Many social videos are watched muted, and text carries the message on its own.
Can you use our brand font?
Yes, as long as your font licence covers video use. Most commercial licences do.
