Anagrams, but where you can break apart letters: "Anagraphs"

This is great! It reminds me of a Tom7 video of a similar ilk: Anagrams, but where you can break apart letters: "Anagraphs" - ▶ this video . Similar to this, he produces a standard form for each word, but breaks each letter into letter pieces or 'atoms' which gives much more freedom for moving between words. Definitely give it a watch. If you are not familiar with Tom7's videos, he has a hilarious whimsical style while also bringing to life completely out there ideas with some brilliant technical skill.

His video on anagraphs is interesting ( ▶ this video ) especially if watched alongside his followup video proving that generalized kerning is an undecidable problem ( [link] )
