Cavalry projects we love in 2023.
One of the great pleasures in developing creative software is seeing the wide variety of amazing projects people are putting Cavalry to good use on.
Here are just a few that we’ve spotted this year from Studio Feixen, Philip von Borries, Dominic Brooks, Mario De Meyer, Pentagram, Antonin Waterkeyn, Remco Janssen, Matt White, Mojiff, Kees Klein Hemmink, About Contact, Zentrumwest, Joyce N. Ho, Anthony Velen, Veritasium and Secta.
In no particular order…
Studio Feixen
First up, this project to promote a new font called Ease by Studio Feixen simply blew us away. So many nice details to promote a lovely variable font — the website is incredible!
Alongside teaching Cavalry to his students, Felix has also been busy creating posters for Museum für Gestaltung Zürich and a multi award winning channel identity for SRF Bounce.
Philip von Borries
Philip is a prolific german freelance 2D animator and designer who works with clients like Apple, Google, Facebook, IBM, Spotify, VICE and Zoom.
He was kind enough to share these amazing animations so that others could learn and be inspired by them.
Dominic Brooks
Dom (AKA Positronic Man) is a UK based motion graphic designer using a wide variety of tools for his work. Cavalry was enlisted to help in creating this beautiful ‘Aerium User Interface Panel’.
Mario De Meyer
Mario is a Belgian freelance graphic designer with a strong focus on typography. It’s been a real pleasure to see his work popping up throughout this year – it always brings a smile to our faces.
Pentagram
We’re super proud to have world renowned, multi-disciplinary design studio Pentagram as customers and they’ve been using Cavalry as part of their projects for Nordoff and Robbins and Echo among others.
Antonin Waterkeyn
It’s been an absolute pleasure to follow along with Antonin’s experiments in Cavalry. He just doesn’t seem to stop producing amazing work!

Matt White
Matt White (AKA Pepko) is an artist creating great tutorials and scripts for Cavalry. It’s intriguing to see what he’s building using Cavalry’s JavaScript APIs.
Mojiff
Mojiff’s YouTube channel is full of concise Cavalry tutorials. All killer, no filler! Well worth a watch.
Kees Klein Hemmink
Kees used Cavalry to export SVGs that could then be fed into a plotter to take digital art into physical media.
We love seeing Cavalry put to use in unexpected ways like this.
About Contact
The team at About Contact used Cavalry “to meticulously craft an animated logo that transitioned from starry to spiky as a representation of Plenty’s ‘no-bullshit’ attitude with an unmistakable feminine touch”.
They also used Cavalry to build “a generative design system to create placeholder images automatically based on data from a Google Sheet” for all the content available on Square Mockups.
Zentrumwest
Leipzig based multidisciplinary design studio Zentrumwest used Cavalry to output 2d textures and then mapped those on to 3d models in Blender.
We love seeing Cavalry fit into the prodcution pipeline like this.
Joyce N. Ho
Buck Creative Director Joyce N. Ho used Cavalry to create a series of beautiful generative artworks which also featured at Semi Permanent Sydney.
Anthony Velen
Anthony Velen shares our love of a good motion poster. His bold, graphic approach is really striking.
His mesmerising work for 36 Days of Type was also among the many that filled our social feeds with flowing typographic motion.
Veritasium
This great documentary on Micromouse, the fastest maze-solving competition on Earth is peppered with explainer animations created in Cavalry — it has been watched by over 14m people!
Secta
It was a pleasure to work with the team at Secta on building an automated suite of templates to promote their corporate football leagues. By simply updating a Google Sheet, upcoming fixtures, results and league tables were quickly exported each week and posted to their social channels.
Thanks to everyone who has shared their work this year. If you didn’t make this article — that certainly doesn’t mean we didn’t love it! Seeing all the weird and wonderful ways you’re all using Cavalry is a huge inspiration to us. If you’ve not yet shared anything, why not make 2024 the year to start showing off?! Tag your work with #cavalryapp and we’ll repost it.
