Vapor Condense

300 teal particles drift as a glowing haze then gradually condense into the crisp word VAPOR via cosine easing, then dissolve back — looping continuously.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero sections, loading screens, or ambient brand reveals where a word needs to emerge from atmospheric noise.

When not to

Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark canvas). Contexts requiring fast legibility — the condense phase takes half the cycle.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change WORD to "DREAM", increase N to 450, and shift the teal palette by setting r/g/b base to rgba(120,80,220) in the color calculation. 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)
  • particle count (N=300)
  • cycle speed (t += 0.0052)
  • drift spread (drift=18*scale)
  • color teal base (r/g/b formula in frame loop)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • offscreen canvas pixel-sampling for anchor points
  • visibilitychange pause/start
  • prefers-reduced-motion static frame
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded to near-black #0b0f0e — must edit CSS to change
  • Click resets cycle to t=0 but pointermove nudge effect is very subtle
  • No aria label on canvas — purely decorative

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.
