Kinetic Typography

Typewriter Loop

Monospace terminal line types and deletes phrases in a loop with randomized keystroke timing; a glowing green block caret blinks throughout.

When to use it

Developer-oriented hero text, CLI-themed landing pages, or any dark-background context needing ambient motion with a coding aesthetic.

When not to

Light-background UIs (background hardcoded near-black). Contexts where rapid text cycling distracts from primary content.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the phrases array to ["build.", "ship.", "iterate.", "deploy();"], set caret color to #60a5fa, and slow typing speed to 130+Math.random()*80.

Safe to edit

  • phrases array content
  • typing speed (90+Math.random()*60)
  • delete speed (45ms)
  • caret color (#46e6a0)
  • font-size clamp range

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (static first phrase fallback)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded near-black in CSS — must edit to use on light backgrounds
  • No ARIA live region — screen readers won't announce changing text

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.
  • Glitch RGB SplitRed and cyan pseudo-element copies of GLITCH drift and randomly snap with clipped displacement, simulating a CRT RGB-split glitch on near-black.
  • 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.
