What it looks like, and when to use it.
The words are the visuals. Bold type on flat colour fields, with simple symbols, arrows and counters, all drawn in code and cut to the beat of the score. Kinetic typography is the quickest way to make a message stick, and it is the style Explainers used for its own promo.

The art direction the director follows.
Every style is a full art direction, not a filter: its own palette, type, motion and music. This is the brief the director works from for Kinetic typography.
- Look
- Drawn in code, no generated images: bold typography on flat colour fields, plus simple geometric symbols, rules, arrows and counters built from CSS/SVG shapes.
- Motion
- Kinetic type synced word-by-word to narration: words slam, slide, scale and rotate on beat, masks and split-letter reveals, bold colour flips between sections.
- Music
- Driving modern minimal beat: plucks, sub pulses, crisp percussion, builds on key lines.
- Type
- Heavy grotesk display + elegant serif accents, huge sizes.
