What It Does
LightSpeed is an animated font built by hand-drawing letterforms with a flashlight on 16mm film stock. Shot with an Arriflex camera set to long exposure, every character captures real film grain, optical quirks, and the organic imperfections of analog photography. Nothing here is CGI or generated with plugins. The result is a typeface that conveys fast motion, energy, and a vintage aesthetic.
Key Features
40+ animated letters. Each character has been hand-drawn and filmed, giving you a complete alphabet plus punctuation.
5 HD timelapse clips. Bonus 720p backgrounds and overlays that match the flashlight aesthetic. Use them as fills, transitions, or layered textures.
Global animation controls. Adjust speed, bounce, scale, transition timing, and color across your text without digging into individual layers.
Characteristic compatibility. If you use the Characteristic plugin, you can apply LightSpeed’s animation properties to other text elements in your project.
Who It’s For
Useful for title sequences, promo videos, and any project where you want a tactile, film-based look. The hand-drawn motion works well for music videos, event openers, or branding that needs a vintage energy.
