Kinetic Typography

Baseline Bounce

Amber monospace letters bounce off a baseline in a staggered ripple with squash-stretch and shadow puddles. Pointer kicks letters up; click launches all.

When to use it

Hero or loading screen needing playful, high-energy kinetic type. Brand name displays with a bouncy, game-like personality.

When not to

Words longer than 8 characters (letters crowd). Contexts where constant motion competes with readable content.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change WORD to 'HELLO', set ACC to '#00eaff', and slow the ripple by changing LAG from 0.13 to 0.22. 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

  • word content (WORD constant)
  • accent color (ACC='#ff9f1c')
  • bounce period (PERIOD=2.4)
  • stagger lag (LAG=0.13)
  • launch velocity (fs*2.7)
  • spring constants (k=140, c=11)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing and setTransform
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in BG constant — must edit both CSS and JS to change
  • pointermove kicks only the nearest letter; no multi-touch support

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.
