    For the font – do a search for fonts on Google- plenty of free fonts. For the look – play in PSD and create the initial still of just the text. As far as the positioning, Corner Pin Track with Mocha and apply to text layer.

    Pretty straight forward using mocha AE for the tracking which comes free with Adobe After Effects.

    1. In After Effects, select your footage layer and go to animation>track in mocha AE
    2. in mocha draw a shape around the book. (turn on perspective in track tab) and track forwards.
    3. position the surface (the blur rectangle) where you want the corner pin to be applied. (use book corners for reference)
    4. Export track data as AE corner pin option (copy to clipboard)
    5. Back in After Effects, select your text layer and paste.

    Note that your text layer should be pre-comped to full comp size first, but there are options to deal with this in AE.

    lots of mocha AE tutorials are found here: https://www.imagineersystems.com/video/?dd=dateNew&orderby=date&order=DESC
