Animated variable fonts.

Animate supported font axes for expressive typography.

Animate a supported font axis to change the drawing of the letters themselves. The statement gains weight gradually while its font file and layer transform stay the same. The wording and weight-axis curve remain editable.

Try it in your agent.

Use this prompt as a starting point. Review the result, then ask for the details you want to change.

A prompt to start from

Use Tesseract. On Charcoal, set a small Exposure “Make an impression.” title above the two-line Inter Variable statement “Bold ideas / start small.” in Bone. Animate the actual wght axis from 300 to 800 during 0.8–3.6 seconds, holding font size 165 px, layer position and scale constant. Inter is the approved Denim fallback and its packaged font contains a real variable weight axis. Let the weight gain carry the motion, then hold the bold final statement.

A few useful details.

Can I animate the weight of any font?

Use a variable font with a supported weight axis. A static font does not gain variable axes when it is animated.

How do I try this with my agent?

Copy the prompt into your supported local agent with Tesseract installed. Review the preview, then ask for the changes you want. The composition stays editable as you refine it.

Where does the video render?

Tesseract previews and renders locally on macOS, Windows, or Linux. The local engine is free; your agent’s subscription or usage costs are separate.

Read the prompt

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
