Halftone Sweep Border

A border of halftone dots in three graded rows. A sweep travels around the frame and swells each dot as it passes, then lets it shrink back, while the dot grid itself never moves.

Also known as: halftone border css, comic dots frame, newsprint dot animation, halftone pattern animation.

Customizing this snippet

  • Color: set --bdr-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
  • Base size: set --bdr-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.
  • Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
  • Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
