WHAT IT DOES

Characters travel upward from a curved offset in a spring-led wave that resolves into one hard editorial baseline.

BEST FOR
  • Identity studies
  • Title treatments
  • Type-led campaign moments
KEY FEATURES
  • A measured sine crest carries each glyph into place with a visible trailing wake
  • Pointer height changes wave energy while the baseline remains container-stable
  • Crest height, wake diffusion, arrival time, and per-letter phase tune independently
  • Forward, reverse, and center-origin waves share one accessible final word
  • 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.

  • A measured sine crest carries each glyph into place with a visible trailing wake
  • Pointer height changes wave energy while the baseline remains container-stable
  • Crest height, wake diffusion, arrival time, and per-letter phase tune independently
  • Forward, reverse, and center-origin waves share one accessible final word
  • Every live control maps to the component's own motion and rendering contract
  • The protected source is a complete portable React and CSS implementation

SOURCE STATUS

Portable implementation included in the verified MIT open-source package.
