What It Does
Jasper is an animated typeface built for After Effects that generates shape-based letter animations with a classic italic aesthetic. Based on Bodoni ultra italic, it creates scalable character animations where you control paths, colors, and line weights. The typeface works as a JSX format file that integrates with Font Manager, or as standalone comps you can customize through expressions and keyframes.
Key Features
Character set. Includes lowercase letters, numbers, and punctuation. No uppercase or special glyphs.
Color customization. Four independently controllable colors let you match brand palettes or create gradient effects across letterforms.
Line weight control. Two adjustable widths for either delicate title treatments or bolder display animations. Expression-driven masks let you fine-tune thickness beyond the presets.
JSX typeface format. Lightweight integration with Font Manager for quick deployment. Also includes traditional comp-based versions for manual control.
Shape layer architecture. Built entirely from After Effects shapes (compatible with CS6+), so everything scales cleanly and renders without external dependencies.
Who It’s For
Useful for title animations, lower thirds, or any project needing elegant italic motion. The limited character set (lowercase only) makes it less practical for body text, but the customizable animation and classic proportions work well for display use.

Jasper uses pay-what-you-want pricing. You choose the amount, with a $5.99 suggested contribution. The product has been permanently retired and is no longer available for purchase.
