Part of the Animography typeface collection, Binary stands out for pairing individually colorable overlapping shapes with a single switch between solid and outline styles.
Binary - Animated Typeface is an animated typeface built by Animography for After Effects. Every character consists of two overlapping geometric shapes, and each shape, including the overlap area, can be colored individually. A switch turns Binary from solid shapes into an outline style, giving you two distinct looks from the same characters.
The transition between styles is controlled with a 0 to 100% slider, so the timing can be adjusted directly. You can apply custom easing or bounce expressions to change how the animation feels. These controls let you tailor the movement and appearance of the typeface to fit your work.
Binary is part of the Animography collection of animated typefaces. Ordering four or more Animography typefaces saves 25%. It supports After Effects versions 2020 through 2024, and a demo video is available.
Binary - Animated Typeface is best for after Effects motion designers working with animated type who want per-shape coloring and a switch between solid and outline styles.
Binary - Animated Typeface is completely free to download and use.
Binary - Animated Typeface supports After Effects 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020. If you are running any of these versions, the typeface is compatible with your setup. For older or newer releases not listed here, check the developer's page to confirm support before relying on it in a project. Staying within the listed range keeps the typeface working as described, so it is worth verifying your After Effects version before purchase or download to avoid compatibility issues on a given machine.
Binary - Animated Typeface uses a switch to turn characters from solid shapes into an outline style. The timing of the change is controlled with a 0 to 100% slider, so you can set the progression directly. You can also apply custom easing or bounce expressions to adjust how the animation moves. Together these controls let you shape both the look and the feel of the transition within After Effects.
Binary - Animated Typeface builds each character from two overlapping geometric shapes, and each shape can be colored individually. The overlap area between the two shapes can also be colored on its own. This gives you separate color control across the parts that make up each character. Combined with the solid and outline styles, the per-shape coloring lets you adjust the appearance of the typeface directly in After Effects.
Binary - Animated Typeface is listed as free in this catalog. Pricing and licensing terms can change, so check the Animography developer's page for current details before you download or use it. The developer also notes a discount when ordering four or more Animography typefaces, so if you are considering several of their animated typefaces, review that offer on their page as well.
