Introduction to After Effect Font Theme

Fonts in after effects are different types of styles with an additional effect for typing our text. We can create a font theme in after effect according to our own idea by just using some plugins and features of this software. You can make an effective font theme for your project purpose and animate it by managing some parameters of the font manager of after effect. For creating a font with our own idea, we must have a font manager installed on our computer to manage the font’s parameters. We will use one more thing for this purpose that is the Saber plugin. It will add more style to our font theme. So for learning about this topic, let us start our discussion.
