It’s not uncommon for me to spend hours looking for the best font options for a new project because trust me, it does make a huge difference when you’re creating anything involving texts which is pretty much everything we see.
So I was browsing fonts for a song called “Beautiful Simple Day” on MyFonts and I noticed this font with this beautiful TI combination.
I have seen this a lot before in font preview images but it’s the first time I saw it actually generate a live preview font with a unique design element like that.
So after a few clicks, I realized it doesn’t look that cool on my computer!
So I dug deep and found this line “OpenType variants that may only be accessible via OpenType-aware applications.” which basically means you’ll get to select variants for available characters on “OpenType” supported applications. Which are like Illustrator and Word for example.
You can simply select a single character and it will suggest you the available variants.
And for applications that don’t support After Effects, you can copy-paste it from Illustrator or you have to turn it into a vector and bring it as a shape layer instead.
So that’s it. I have been drawing those elements by hand for a decade and this is like a fun little gift! If you didn’t know too please share it with a designer or an animator.
Btw, the font is called Bleach by Ronny Studio. Go check that out if you are interested.
