Effect - Text shimmer

A bright band sweeps across a headline - a moving gradient clipped to the text for a metallic sheen.

Drag a slider and watch the preview respond live. Every control maps to a typed prop - what you tune is what you ship.

How the animation works

The headline uses background-clip on the text so a gradient is painted only inside the letterforms, and a bright band within that gradient sweeps across on a loop, producing a metallic sheen that travels through the type. Several sheen presets change the colour and intensity of the sweep without altering the animation.

When to use it

  • A headline or label that should catch the eye with a subtle premium glint
  • A small accent like a badge or eyebrow text that needs a touch of shine
  • Any heading where a flat colour feels too plain but motion should stay restrained
