When to use it

Dark hero sections, cyberpunk or tech aesthetics, error/system-failure themed UIs, demo reels.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded #080808), readable body text contexts, or reduced-motion environments where the effect is fully suppressed.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the word to 'ERROR', set red channel to #ff6600 and cyan to #00ffcc, increase burst probability from 0.06 to 0.12 for more frequent glitch spikes.

Safe to edit

  • word content (data-t attribute + inner text)
  • burst probability (Math.random()<0.06)
  • channel colors (#ff003c / #00eaff)
  • drift amplitude (sin/cos multiplier *2)
  • clip displacement range (Math.random()*60 / *30)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • CSS custom properties feeding pseudo-element transforms

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in both CSS (#080808) and pseudo-element background — must change in two places
  • Both channels share the same --clip value so they clip identically during bursts

More Kinetic Typography components

  • Weight Morph WaveEach letter of a word pulses font-weight and vertical scale in a staggered sine wave, shifting hue from cyan to blue.
  • Scramble DecodeNeon-green monospace words scramble through random glyphs then lock left-to-right like a terminal decrypting. Auto-cycles; click skips to next word.
  • Split-Flap BoardSix amber tiles cycle through letters to spell airport-style words (DEPART, ARRIVE, ONTIME, BOARDS) on a dark charcoal background with a rotateX flip…
  • Gradient ShimmerBold "SHIMMER" text with a rainbow gradient clipped to the letterforms, continuously panning for a glossy iridescent sweep on deep umber.
  • Marquee TickerTwo rows of bold words scroll in opposite directions — yellow left, teal right — with red bullet separators on a dark green background, news-ticker style.
  • Moving MaskDiagonal gradient light band sweeps across REVEAL, illuminating letters in shifting teal-copper hues against dark. Pure CSS mask + background-clip animation.
