# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=kinetic-typography+variable-font-design
# Kinetic Typography carries the structure. Variable Font Design appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Kinetic Typography (Technique, film titles–digital motion) and its accent from Variable Font Design (Technique, 2016–). Structural cues: Per-word motion; Rhythm; Scale change; Pauses. Accent cues, used sparingly: Continuous weights; Variable axes; Data-driven type; Type in motion. Composition: Split the sentence into words; assign each a trajectory that fits its meaning. Type and lettering: One family, varied in weight and width. Let one material quality come from the second style: One file carrying several masters, with safe default values set. Mood: Exhilaration, Rebellion, Intimacy, Technology, Futurism, Play. Color: build on #f0eee6, #ff542f, #171714 with a single accent drawn from #edf1e8, #4b9068, #1c2420. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Kinetic Typography and Variable Font Design share no intent, so the contrast has to become the subject rather than something to smooth over.
# - Two techniques rather than two looks. Decide which one runs last in the process, because that is the one that will show.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Kinetic Typography: Don't move every word. Motion reads because some words stand still.
# - Variable Font Design: Every extra axis makes the intermediate shapes more likely to break, so decide what the movement means and how readable the text must stay before the variation becomes the show.
