The Hate Monologue Kinetic Type

Inspired by the intensity and production of the radio play’s “Hate Monologue,” I wanted to explore how typography alone could carry narrative weight. The goal was to translate the psychological tension and emotional escalation of the monologue into motion, timing, and type treatment.


I focused on using typefaces as expressive tools rather than decorative elements. Through deliberate font choices, pacing, and movement, I maintained a consistent visual system while allowing the typography to shift in intensity alongside the story. Restraint and repetition were used to build unease, while moments of disruption emphasized emotional peaks in the monologue.


The final kinetic typography piece balances consistency with emotional impact, using motion and typographic contrast to reinforce the story’s tone. The project demonstrates how type can function as both narrative voice and emotional amplifier in motion design.
