What It Does
Pincoya is a discontinued animated typeface for After Effects that turns text into attention-grabbing motion graphics. Built with expression-driven masks, it gives you control over how each character animates. The typeface includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and basic punctuation, all designed for high-impact display work.

Key Features
Expression-driven masks. Each character’s animation is controlled by expressions, letting you fine-tune timing and movement without manually keyframing. Adjust the animation parameters to match your project’s pacing.
Three customizable colors. Set color values for different parts of each letterform. This works particularly well for layered title sequences where you need color variation across multiple text elements.
Heavyweight display design. The thick, bold letterforms draw attention in title cards, lower thirds, and promotional videos. Designed by Daniel Hernández and Diego Aravena, the typeface combines weight with movement.
Characteristic integration. Optimized to work with the Characteristic plugin, which lets you control multiple text layers from a single panel. Useful when you need consistent animation across different compositions.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on promotional content, social media videos, or any project requiring bold animated text. If you need text that announces itself rather than quietly appearing, this typeface handles that role. The expression-based system works best for designers comfortable tweaking After Effects expressions.
Pricing
Pincoya operated on a pay-what-you-want model during its final sale period. The product has been discontinued as part of Animography’s retirement of older typefaces. It is no longer available for purchase.
