Typographic Tension: The Experimental Kinetic Posters of Xtian Miller

Detroit-based designer Xtian Miller pushes the limits of typography through an ongoing poster series that’s equal parts optical illusion and conceptual inquiry. These bold, experimental pieces play with perception — twisting, distorting and layering letterforms until they become more than just text, turning into rhythm, structure and sound.

Xtian’s work is driven by a fascination with how words function in our brains, how we see, feel and process them beyond their literal meaning. His posters channel that curiosity into striking visual compositions: kinetic grids that pulse with motion, warped type that seems to vibrate, and bold color contrasts that jolt the senses.
