Origami Fold unfolds each letter from flat creased paper, panels swinging open along their fold lines until the letterform stands complete.

How this animation is built
og-fold rotates panel segments about their shared crease edges on a stagger, so the letter opens along real fold lines rather than simply scaling up. Each panel's rotation axis sits on the crease, which is what makes the paper read as rigid.
Tips for Origami Fold
Muted paper colours — cream, slate, dusty pastels — suit the material.
Slow it down. Folding paper quickly looks like flapping.
Origami Fold questions
Does it look right on script fonts?
Not really. Folding assumes straight creases, so geometric and sans faces hold up far better than connected scripts.
