What It Does
Huboost was an animated typeface plugin that provided bold, clean letterforms with built-in animations. The typeface included a full character set with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and extensive punctuation marks. It has been permanently discontinued by Animography.
Key Features
Full glyph set. The typeface covered all standard characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, and a wide range of punctuation marks.
Color customization. Four independent color options let you style characters to match your project’s visual direction.
Slanting control. An adjustable slanting parameter allowed you to modify the angle of the letterforms.
Expression-driven masks. Characters used expression-based masks that could be fine-tuned and animated for custom motion treatments.
Characteristic integration. The typeface was optimized to work with Characteristic, another tool for text animation workflows.
The animations were designed to be simple and vibrant, making the typeface suitable for title sequences, lower thirds, and motion graphics work that needed animated type without complex customization.
Availability
This product is no longer available for purchase. Animography retired it permanently as part of their ongoing effort to keep their product catalog relevant. Before discontinuation, it sold for $1 during a final retirement sale, down from its regular price of $7.99.
Designed by Diego Aravena, Huboost was compatible with After Effects versions 2020 through 2024. Its initial release was version 4.0 in April 2015.
