The song is called Dream of Sky from Dancing Line, a mobile music game.
Here is the music sheet, and here is the video.
Second version of my delivery:
Developing from the first version and emphasizing the senses of being floating, three-dimensional, and in motion, I expanded the parts where I used the Algerian font. I created a 6×3 grid with only the two horizontal lines in the middle parallel with each other. The Algerian font letters fall onto these grids, and the rest, which are Curlz MT font “o”s, “q”s, and “u”s fall in the blank space between the lines. The more towards the bottom, the larger and denser these letters. I kept the ascending “w”s because I thought it would add something different from the rest, and the sections of the dense notes like 2323271 are very typical in the song. Additionally, I added a white Edwardian Script ITC font “S” in the middle. Not only because “sky” starts with “s” but also resembles a treble clef. More importantly, it makes the composition seem “windy”.
First version of delivery for the mini critique:
I would describe the song as high, lively, and hopeful. The four black blocks made with overlapping letters represent the four or so louder notes starting at 00:57. The letters come from the title Dream of Sky. I also want them to represent floating islands or anything floating in the sky. I tried to use the Algerian font with shades and the belt made with “v”s to add the sense of floatiness and dimensionality. While exploring the idea of “expansion” with “v”s, I tried to apply “effervescent” with “o”s, “q”s, and “u”s with the Curlz MT font for the same purpose. I think these letters resemble lanterns, balloons, and clouds, and the curvy strokes seem more “hopeful”. I used the Paintbrush Tool to draw the path of “w”s, in an ascending form. I was also exploring the combined patterns of “L”s and “H”s, making them resemble ascending stairs and ladders as well as representing the sections of the dense notes, such as 2323271. I made all the letter patterns with some sort of breaking spaces in between to seem more “lively”.
I first started with four possible songs of my choice:
I finally went with the third one, which was Dream of Sky, and I listened to it again, marking down more details in order:
I also gathered some inspirations of typography patterns and general compositions:
