My Heart Beating “G” was inspired by Greg Kepler’s “T”. I liked the top flip and was unsure of how AniType worked so I tried working from that idea. The result is a “G” whose horizontal line raises and then strikes the rest of the “G” causing it to rotate.

Heart Beat “G”:


My Compact-able “Q” started from me staring at the “Q” for a few minutes trying to figure out what on earth I could do with it. I decided that I wanted the “Q” to compress to a “+”. That’s easier said then done, but I figured out how to do it eventually.

Compact-able “Q”:


My Bow-Tie “Q” was a happy accident from my hours of tinkering trying to make my Compact-able “Q”.

Bow-Tie “Q”:


Sketchbook Origins:

Sketch

Favorite Found on AniType:


Made by CMU grad Max Hawkins this “O” is mesmerizing. Simple yet complex enough to hypnotize the viewer. The movement of the participles give the “O” a shimmering effect that I would imagine if somehow translated to the whole alphabet would create a sparkling font.
