What It Does
Nexa Bold brings an animated typeface to After Effects, built entirely with shape layers so you can scale to any resolution without quality loss. Type with bold geometric letterforms, animate in and out with markers, and apply 3D extrusion for depth. Designed for titles, headings, and text blocks in motion graphics work.
Key Features
Four-color customization. Set individual colors for different parts of your letters, giving you control over the look without rebuilding anything.
In and out animations with markers. Timing controls let you trigger animations at specific points. Use markers to sync letter reveals or exits with your edit.
Full-type extrusion. Slide to add 3D depth across all characters at once. Adjust the angle and quality to match your scene. Works well for title cards and branded treatments where dimension helps.
60fps animation support. Moves smoothly at high frame rates. Helpful if you’re delivering for platforms or clients that expect polished motion at 60fps.
Font Manager integration. Type directly in your comp using Font Manager (sold separately, 15% bundle discount available). Handles tracking, line spacing, alignment, and time offset. Font Manager auto-generates a controller layer for Nexa Bold’s settings.
JSX version included. A lightweight format built with compCode. Requires Font Manager to use. Offers faster setup and smaller file sizes compared to the standard shape layer version.
Who It’s For
Motion designers working on title sequences, explainer videos, or brand content where readable geometric type matters. If you need animated letterforms that scale cleanly and offer extrusion without modeling in 3D software, this fits that workflow. Also useful for editors who want preset animated type without keyframing every letter.
