WHAT IT DOES

Layered copies blur, drift and condense into a readable headline with directional smoke pressure and controlled diffusion.

BEST FOR
  • Identity studies
  • Title treatments
  • Type-led campaign moments
KEY FEATURES
  • Layered copies condense into one semantic headline without layout movement
  • Pointer pressure steers the plume while the live word remains anchored
  • Diffusion, lift, layer count, and timing shape separate smoke qualities
  • Three pressure profiles preserve a clear static identity at rest
  • Every live control maps to the component's own motion and rendering contract
  • The protected source is a complete portable React and CSS implementation
PERFORMANCE

No animation package or external preview asset is required. Layout is container-scoped and decorative motion is disabled when reduced motion is requested.

INTERACTION

Pointer, touch, horizontal trackpad and keyboard states use the same underlying component state.

ACCESSIBILITY

Native landmarks and controls preserve reading order, visible focus and keyboard access. Motion never carries the only meaning.

BEHAVIOR

Built to move without taking over.

SOURCE STATUS
