Constructivist

Type Stack

Three rows of bold slab letters (TYPE / STACK / 1923) slide and pop along a tilted red diagonal bar; a white square ticks back and forth across the axis.

When to use it

Constructivist or brutalist hero backgrounds, retro design showcases, editorial motion posters.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text — letters are decorative and stagger-animate. Avoid on light backgrounds without CSS edits.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the words to 'FORM / SPACE / 2024', swap the red axis color to deep blue (#1a237e), and slow the cycle to 9s. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • axis/bar color (--cv08-red)
  • row shift percentages (11%, -13%, 7%)
  • animation cycle duration (6.4s)
  • slab font size (clamp 34px–116px)
  • text content in .cv08-row spans
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE visibility-pause handler
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • cv08- CSS namespace prefix
  • role=img + aria-label on stage
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Font falls back to Impact/system-ui — no variable-font axis, so weight is fixed at 900
  • Background color hardcoded in CSS variable --cv08-bg; must edit root to change dark theme

More Constructivist components

  • Diagonal ThrustRed and black arrow-tipped slabs sweep along a -28° diagonal axis over a black field; a dark-red disc and a bold type bar anchor the composition.
  • Red WedgeRed wedge drives into a recoiling black disc, scattering shards; bold slab type fades in after impact. Looping Constructivist poster animation.
  • Rotodynamic18 slab bars and word spokes radiate from an off-center hub, rotating at staggered speeds in a Rodchenko red-black-bone palette.
  • Floating FormsSuprematist field: tilted black square anchors red and off-white bars, squares, and a dot drifting in slow staggered CSS cycles on near-black.
  • MegaphoneA Constructivist megaphone emits expanding concentric red and paper-white arc rings across a dark field with bold diagonal bars. Runs autonomously.
  • Gear PosterThree SVG gears spin at different speeds while red diagonal bars slam in and slab-type text assembles — all on a dark constructivist grid.
