Text Effects

Block Reveal

Gold block sweeps left-to-right over stacked uppercase words, pauses, then retracts right to reveal the text. Loops with a faint underline rule.

When to use it

Hero headlines, brand reveals, title cards, or any context needing a cinematic text entrance on a dark background.

When not to

Light backgrounds (dark navy hardcoded). More than 3 lines — stagger timing compounds and loop pacing breaks.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the words to "SHIP IT", set gold to electric blue (#00cfff), slow the sweep to 6s by updating animation-duration on .tte05-txt, .tte05-blk, and .tte05-stage::after. 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 (inner text of .tte05-txt spans)
  • gold color (#f5d76e — text, block, and rule)
  • animation duration (4.6s)
  • stagger delay per row (.16s increments)
  • font size clamp(34px,15vmin,90px)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • clip-path inset keyframe pairing between tte05-block and tte05-reveal (must stay in sync)
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard
  • visibilitychange pause in IIFE
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • Third row requires a new nth-child delay rule
  • Purely passive — no click or hover interactivity

More Text Effects components

  • Scramble DecodeGold monospace text resolves from random glyphs left-to-right with a tracking caret, holds with micro-flickers, then re-scrambles through a 6-phrase loop.
  • Stagger RiseGold serif letters rise through a clipped baseline one by one, hold as a word, then exit upward in a staggered loop.
  • Gradient WipeBold headline in dim steel; a bright gold sheen band sweeps across via background-clip:text with a soft bloom glow pulsing beneath at center crossing.
  • Weight WaveA bell-curve wave of font-weight travels left-to-right across the word WEIGHT; crest letters bulge bold, lift slightly, and warm to gold glow.
  • Glitch SplitBold word renders with red/cyan RGB channel-split; periodic bursts trigger horizontal slice displacement and scanline glints over a dark background.
