Kinetic Typography Text
Three words arrive one after another from different directions, the camera drifts, then the whole block spins away and it starts over. Kinetic typography built from four timed keyframe tracks.
Also known as: kinetic typography css, kinetic text animation, motion typography.

}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.
