I feel like the fact that I'm clearly stuck at the airport adds Energy to this one:
Created a kinetic typography lyric video for “Smell Of The Game” from the new Guilty Gear. ArcSys shared the lyrics so I knew I had to jump on it. I haven’t done a personal type video like this in a while so it was a nice change of pace!

fun fact about me is that when i was a kid id write capital E’s with as many of those little horizontal lines as possible and id call them ladder E’s and adults fucking hated them
artistic rendition
All capital letters should have a leveled-up form
So far I’ve got
- ladder letters: A, E, F, H, T
- humpback B’s and P’s get as many bumps as you think they need
- circle O’s, you just keep spiraling in til you feel like you’ve made your point
- tree letters branch into smaller versions of themselves ad nauseum: X, Y
- spider Q’s, so many legs
Please add your own unsettling godtier capitals!
New alphabet dropped!
oh my god, it’s beautiful
(future handwritten notes are gonna be so wonderfully cursed now, thank you! :D )
well it’s going to take some getting used to, @ceekari (don’t mind the redacted letter between T and U)
But I think i’ve taken a real shine to it!

So i may have done a thing in an insomnia fueled jaunt into insanity.
This is how new alphabets get invented.
The meanings behind the colors.
Gay pride flag - Gilbert Baker (1978)
i remember when we were in typography II and also editorial design I we got shown the fucking text hierarchy image
and I'm seeing more and more people not grasping this concept when editing so i thought that if for some reason you haven't seen this image i probably shouldn't gatekeep it. Text hierarchy is literally essential knowledge to make yourself understood. Try to have an order in your text, investigate, test things, show your edits to people and ask "hey what order are you reading this on?" because the golden rule is that your design should be easy to interpret most of the time.
I COME BACK WITH MORE
some were made on request :D
also, turns out there's an ADHD one?
anyway, enjoy them :D
edited this 3 times because i forgot tags
