Animated Text Effects

A neon sign that lights the wall behind it — glass tubes with a hot core, one tired letter that stutters, an ignition flicker, and a real on/off switch.

Type debossed into paper and lit by a real lighting model — the lamp follows your pointer, so every wall of every letter catches and loses the light.

A headline that inverts the photograph beneath it, with a scrim that keeps it legible.

Hot-foil type that shifts colour under the pointer — Newton's series rather than a rainbow, translated rather than rotated.

A rotating word wheel built on a real cylinder — derived radius, accumulated rotation, no backwards spin on the wrap.

Copy that resolves word by word as you scroll, mapped by real reading position rather than word index.

A headline that smears along the pointer's direction of travel with a real accumulation blur.

A headline whose letters follow the cursor as a spring chain — crisp at the head, loose at the tail.

A real Solari departure board — four layers and a hinge, with reels that land apart because they travel different distances.

Type used as a mask so imagery moves inside the letterforms.

A light band travelling inside the glyphs, clipped to the text so only ink lights up.

Particles sampled from the glyphs themselves, assembling into a word and scattering on hover.

RGB channels of a headline separate toward the pointer and recombine to white.

Display type with a solid extrusion that swings around as the pointer moves.

Per-character variable font weight that swells around the pointer and drifts when idle.

Display type cut into horizontal bands that fan apart under the pointer.

Text that decodes from random characters into its real word on hover.

A stat number that rolls up from zero to its target the moment it's in view.

Text that types itself out character by character, then cycles to the next phrase.

An RGB-split, jittery glitch effect on text when you hover it.

A headline where one word auto-cycles with a vertical odometer-style swap.
