Kinetic type art: 17 art-directed typography pieces on the beat

Seventeen typography pieces where type is the picture. They share one craft: cut on the beat, hold between beats, space letters like a typographer, and keep every glitch discrete and seeded so it renders the same twice.

Gates

• Technique, not someone's work. Named designers and title sequences are cited for technique; never reproduce an artist's drawings, a film's title card or a brand's wordmark.
• Readability ceiling. At most 20 characters per second on screen; one word per beat is safe up to about 180 BPM.
• Free fonts only. Every font in the presets is OFL or Apache. Swap in the person's brand font only if they have a license for video.
• Seek-safe. Every value is a function of timeline time; randomness is seeded by frame. No Date.now(), requestAnimationFrame or unseeded Math.random().
• No credits here. These templates render locally for free. Generated footage, voice or music is the varg-ai skill: call estimate_cost and wait for the person's approval before any generation.

Pick a template

17 templates, 54 presets. Each reference file has the same sections: how the pros do it (every rule cited), presets, timing and numbers, how to build it, mistakes that look amateur, sources. Each JSON file holds the same presets as machine-readable values.

Read references/shared-type-craft.md first: it holds the numbers every template here shares.
