eldora-font-weight-text

text-effectdark-futuristicmotion on file

A client-side React text effect that splits a string into glyph spans and animates each glyph across a variable font's weight axis with staggered CSS keyframes. It ships as a shadcn registry component, imports the shared cn utility, and relies on React, Tailwind utility classes, and a variable font that supports weight variation.

Verdict

A focused, visually distinctive headline effect, but not drop-in production UI. It needs a shadcn-style setup, responsive type sizing, an ARIA correction, and a reduced-motion fallback. Choose it when variable typography is central to the page and you are prepared to harden the implementation.

Use it if

  • You want a looping typographic accent for a short hero line or campaign headline.
  • Your design already uses a variable font with a weight axis.
  • Your app has a shadcn-style utility layer and can tune the component for each breakpoint.

Skip it if

  • The text must fit narrow screens without responsive sizing or overflow fixes.
  • You need an accessible component without first correcting the prohibited ARIA labeling.
  • Your typeface is static, since the weight animation may have no visible effect.
  • You need motion that respects reduced-motion preferences out of the box.

Install

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add React, Tailwind utilities, and a cn helper backed by clsx and tailwind-merge, then replace or configure the @/lib/utils alias. Ensure your framework supports client components and scoped JSX styles, load a variable font with a weight axis, and add responsive sizing, valid accessible text, and reduced-motion handling.
