Kinetic Type
An experimental typography piece exploring the relationship between letterforms
and physical motion. Each character was treated as a sculptural object in 3D
space, animated through a custom physics engine to create a dance between form,
weight, and timing.
Concept. Type is usually read, not seen. Kinetic Type strips away legibility and asks the viewer to experience letterforms as physical objects — weight, surface, momentum. Each character was modelled in 3D and assigned unique material properties before being released into a simulated environment.

Early wireframe tests showing the letter “K” built from 14,000 vertices, each vertex responding to gravity and wind vectors.
Process. Built with Three.js and a custom Verlet physics engine. Each typeface was dissected into individual glyphs, re-extruded as 3D geometry, and animated through a system of constraints — spring forces, collision boundaries, and turbulence fields. The music track was generated from the vertex positions via MIDI mapping.
