Kinetic typography or “moving text” is basically an animation technique that mixes motion and typography to express ideas. In these animations, texts fly, grow, expand and change in order to empower the message they are depicting. It is impressive how a simple text with the right tone, pace and use of typography can evoke emotions and help the viewer concentrate more on what’s being said and understand it better.
