Example of Kinetic Type: "The Alphabet" by Alessandro Novelli

The Link above is a video I found of a marvelous and beautiful example of kinetic type. The video is simply an animation of the whole alphabet, letters A through Z, and each letter is shown by a different font that starts with that letter. Sounds boring, but it is truly beautiful and had my unbroken attention the entire time. Each letter flows seamlessly into the next by using liquid-like transitions. The video has great flow and never seems to pause. It seems to be animated by hand which is even more incredible. Plus, I love the vintage, classic style of the video, but that's just me. The video was created by the founder and director of the design studio "n9ve," Alessandro Novelli. He is known for his work in "Passion of the Christ," and "Pride and Prejudice." He is mostly a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, but he does work as a director and designer. Finally, this video relates to our first class project because it is a great example of text-only kinetic type and shows the beauty of typography and fonts as a whole.
