Mesh Tension

A typographic surface bends toward the pointer across a visible mesh, carrying a restrained chromatic fringe through the deformation.

• Identity studies
• Title treatments
• Type-led campaign moments

• Vertical text strips deform through the same field as the visible guide mesh
• Pointer force bends the surface while a restrained accent fringe reveals stress
• Subdivision changes deformation detail without changing pull strength
• At rest, procedural waves keep the typographic surface visibly tensioned
• Every live control maps to the component's own motion and rendering contract
• The protected source is a complete portable React and CSS implementation

Adaptive sampling, capped DPR and visibility-based suspension keep the renderer predictable. Test density on low-power mobile hardware before increasing it.

Pointer and touch coordinates are container-scoped; offscreen renderers stop work and pixel ratio is capped.

The visual canvas is decorative by default. Pair it with a semantic heading or description, and reduced motion holds a stable rendered frame.
