Rotate Out: CSS Keyframe Animation

Rotate Out

Winds back a few degrees, then spins 200 degrees clockwise and fades as it picks up speed. The small wind-up tells the eye which way it is about to go. Rotates around its center.

Also known as: rotateOut animation, rotate out css, spin out exit.

Customizing this snippet

Color: set --kfa-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
Base size: set --kfa-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.
