A BRAND NEW WAY TO CREATE AND WORK WITH ANIMATED TYPEFACES

Font Manager makes setting up and using Animated Typefaces fast and easy.

FAMILIAR INTERFACE

Font Manager's UI should be very familiar to anyone used to the After Effects Character panel so you can dive in without having to read a manual.

SUPPORTS KERNING AND METRICS

Automatically analyses and applies kerning and metrics. You don't have to adjust layers manually.

MULTILINE AND TEXT ALIGNMENT

Yes! Finally!

ONE CLICK TO CREATE A FULL TYPEFACE

Generate shape or solid layers for each character, create/copy the animation and sort them into comps. By the way, you can customize glyphs sets.

UNIQUE PARENTING FUNCTION

Select the properties you want to parent and Font Manager will do the rest! Inside all glyphs! You can find the properties by name and batch parent or add expressions to them.

SUPER EASY CONTROLLER

Manage all characters within one layer or manage each character separately.

QUICK START ASSISTANT

Will guide you through the whole process in a matter of minutes (or even seconds) so you won't miss anything.

LOTS OF ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

Everything you might need to setup and use an animated typeface such as:

Offset layers in time
Change layer order
Toggle parenting
Demo all glyphs
Easy navigation
and more.

WORKS NATIVELY WITH JSX TYPEFACES

JSX typefaces are a fantastic new light-weight format for animated typefaces the seamlessly integrate with Font Manager. Checkout our constantly growing library of JSX typefaces.
