Blend Invert

How it works

Blend Invert is an animated fill & texture text effect rendered entirely in CSS. A data-text attribute mirrors the word into ::before/::after layers, so copy that attribute together with the CSS.

Controls

Blend Invert exposes 3 dedicated controls — Backdrop Hue, Drift Speed and Band Angle — on top of the shared type controls (font, weight, letter-spacing and case). Open it in the generator to tune every value live, then copy the updated CSS.

CSS

 * Font: 'Bungee', cursive (load from Google Fonts).

HTML

This effect needs the markup below (per-letter spans, SVG defs, or a data-text attribute).
