Video continues to the be the leading format on social, earning more views, likes, and shares than any other media. We also see type becoming a character in the videos we consume daily. And for good reason: Text ensures your message translates with or without sound and movement helps convey mood and tone, while also dominating social media algorithms.

We’ve added a dozen new animations under Adobe Express Post‘s effects on mobile and applying these effects to your graphics is dead simple. Tap “effects” from the editor and cycle through our pre-loaded, dynamic options. Flicker can turn type into flashing neon, Dynamic offers bold-in-your-face movement, and Typewriter can help keep eyes locked on longer pieces of copy, like the example below.

Say it in style with expressive type

Watch the full breakdown here

Extra-loud, bold type has been dominating graphic design trends this year. We’re seeing groovy retro type harken back to the activism of the 60s and 70s. Imperfect handwriting fonts are supporting the authentic tones of emerging voices on social media. And fonts with ornate flourishes are blending type and art for like-worthy shares. These days, you can’t spend more than two minutes online without seeing a meme, slogan, or inspirational quote float across your feed.  And we gotta say, we’re here for this trend. While we like a dreamy photo as much as the next, we love seeing social media accounts that lead with ideas, words, and conversation starters.

And a creative use of type can help you make sure your message is seen, read, and connected with. It’s easier than ever to explore interesting and unexpected typography. Adobe Express subscribers now get unlimited access to the complete Adobe Fonts library–that’s thousands of fonts at your fingertips, so you can find the perfect type for your message.
