Typography so hot it actually melts.
Demo: https://penev.tech/labs/molten-type
My new WebGPU experiment Molten Type is live!
Real-time heating, deformation, and procedural sparks.
To my friends on mobile or old browsers: if you see a fallback message, don't be mad. My code is just protecting your device from a literal digital meltdown.
Wohhh 🫨
This is a really cool experiment. The real-time melting effect and sparks make the typography feel almost physical. WebGPU opens some exciting possibilities.

I went with a modern editorial layout in this version. I wanted the message to feel strong and clear, so the typography carries most of the weight in the design.
Which would you go for if you were the client?

before type was designed, it was forged. the printing press and the blacksmith's workshop share more history than most people realise, and the earliest typefaces weren't drawn at a drafting table but cast in metal by hands that already knew the craft.
i've made a few found-letterform fonts before, usually from plants and things in nature. this one, built from images of ornamental metal gates, is by far my favourite and feels like a natural homage to the original metal-cast type. let me know what you think! 🔩
What if case studies felt more like campaigns instead of just mockups?
I’ve been playing with some quick concepts using Kittl, and I’m honestly really impressed.
I’m using Flows to generate visuals and turn them into little motion moments, which makes the work feel more like a brand world instead of static slides.
Still experimenting, but reeeeally excited to try this with some of my client work.
Have you tried Kittl yet? Any tips or ideas for what I should experiment with next?
