'''Typographics''' is defined in [[Visual Experiments Lain]] as a compound word comprised of the words ''type'' and ''graphic''. It is used to describe montage scenes of the [[anime]] in which words float or scroll across the screen, usually in accompaniment to narration or [[crosstalk]], or during scenes in which [[Lain]] is diving in the [[Wired]]. Such scenes were created by [[Ueda Yasuyuki]] using Adobe After Effects and other programs.

+'''Typographics''' is defined in [[Visual Experiments Lain]] as a compound word comprised of the words ''type'' and ''graphic''. It is used to describe montage scenes of the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]] in which words float or scroll across the screen, usually in accompaniment to narration or [[crosstalk]], or during scenes in which [[Lain Iwakura]] is diving in [[the Wired]]. Such scenes were created by [[Ueda Yasuyuki]] using Adobe After Effects and other programs.
For the purposes of this article, typographics means any situation where text is used for primarily stylistic effects. Below, the text from a few of the scenes has been transcribed and sourced for the reader's interest. Reading the text probably won't contribute to your understanding of ''Lain'', because it's merely decorative or stylistic, having little to no relevance to the events of the scenes it appears in.
