About
Make it Stranger is a single-serving site featuring a web app by the creative studio Nelson Cash, which generates Stranger Things title cards based on user-submitted keywords.
Origin
On July 27th, 2016, Nelson Cash posted a blog post about the typography used opening title sequence of Stranger Things by staff designer Sarah Gless.[2] On August 16th, Nelson Cash engineer Michael McMillian announced the launch of their Make It Stranger[1] Stranger Things type generator. The web application allows users to input keywords into a top and bottom field, which are subsequently made into a title card resembling the typeface used in the Stranger Things opening sequence (shown below).
