Letters Zoom In Text Effect
Each letter rushes in from several times its size, blurred, and snaps into place with an expo ease-out. Reads like the letters are flying at the screen and landing on the page, one by one.
Also known as: puff in text, zoom in letters css, letters fly toward screen.

}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.
