Hand-Drawn Sketch Checkbox
A wobbly pencil box with a quick scribbled tick that overshoots the corner, like marking a paper form. The tick is one SVG stroke that starts slow and flicks fast, and the box gives a small jolt.
Also known as: sketch checkbox css, hand drawn checkmark, scribble checkbox.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--chk-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Size: set
--chk-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing24px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. 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.
