Variable Font Hover

Interactive Typography That Responds

Transform your text into an interactive experience with Variable Font Hover – each letter responds to mouse hover with smooth weight transitions, creating elegant ripple effects across your typography.

Features

Letter-by-Letter Animation Each character animates independently, creating a fluid wave effect as users hover over the text. The animation smoothly transitions between font weights for a premium feel.

Variable Font Support Leverage the power of variable fonts to animate weight and optionally slant. The smooth interpolation between font weights creates animations that traditional fonts simply can't achieve.

Stagger Patterns Choose how the animation flows through the text: from the first letter, last letter, center outward, or random for organic movement.

Dual Trigger Modes Use hover mode for desktop experiences or toggle mode for click-based interactions that work great on mobile devices.

Layout Stability Built-in layout reservation ensures your text never "shakes" or causes layout shifts, even when transitioning between extreme font weights.

Quick Tips

Weight Contrast — For maximum impact, use a weight range of at least 300 (e.g., 400 to 700 or 300 to 900). Subtle changes (like 400 to 500) may not be noticeable.

Stagger Timing — A 0.03s delay creates smooth waves. Increase to 0.05-0.08s for more dramatic sequential effects.

Toggle Mode — Use "Click to Toggle" for mobile-friendly interactions where hover isn't available.

Accessibility — The component includes screen reader text for accessibility. The animated text is marked aria-hidden.
