What It Does
Laser Type is an animated typeface built for After Effects that creates hair-thin sans serif letters with glowing laser effects. The font includes 82 characters (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters) delivered in JSX format, which integrates directly with Font Manager. Each character can be customized with different stroke widths, colors, and laser flame effects.
Key Features
JSX typeface format. Works as a lightweight animated font that installs directly into your After Effects workflow. No pre-rendering or separate compositions needed.
Customizable parameters. Adjust letter strokes, letter colors, and laser flame colors independently. The straightforward controls make it practical for title work where you need consistent styling across multiple characters.
82-character set. Includes full uppercase and lowercase alphabets, numbers, and common special characters. Enough coverage for most English-language titles and headings.
Saber integration. Requires the free VideoCopilot Saber plugin to generate the laser effects. Download Saber separately from Video Copilot before using Laser Type.
Who It’s For
Motion designers creating title sequences, lower thirds, or kinetic typography where the thin, glowing aesthetic fits the project. Works well for tech, sci-fi, or modern corporate branding that needs an animated typeface rather than static text.
