20 CSS Text Animations

Typography is an integral part of web design, without which it is impossible to complete a website layout. In this modern age, a variety of CSS text effects are used in web design which further enhances its beauty. Text animations can breathe life into websites and capture users’ attention. While JavaScript libraries provide robust animation tools, you can create impressive text animations using just CSS.

In this post, I’ll showcase a collection of 15 CSS text animations that range from simple hover effects to eye-catching loading sequences and kinetic typography. These snippets rely on CSS animations, transitions, and transforms to add motion and energy to letters, words, and text blocks.

From stretching and skewing type to spinning words into a blur, animating text along paths, and simulating typewriter or scrambling effects – these examples demonstrate the power of CSS animations. The snippets highlight how to control timing, easing, delays, and applying animations to pseudo-elements for multi-phase effects.
