For showing letters you could use Gem.

Then use pmpd or msd to do the smooth movement with some physical feeling. Just
add some fixed mass points to the line(s) of text you want to fill, and add
mobile masses connected by links to their respective fixed/final positions.
Turn off all links by setting the "k" rigidity parameter to 0, spread out the
letters in random positions, then turn on the "k" again to let the masses start
moving.
