Infinite Scrolling Text
Big display words scroll endlessly, alternating solid and outlined, with star separators and edges that fade out. Two copies move by one copy's width, so the loop point never shows.
Also known as: infinite scrolling text css, big text marquee, scrolling headline loop.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - 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.
