Casual Morph

Entrance & Kinetic · Animated · pure CSS

The letterforms reshape between a precise sans and a relaxed hand-drawn casual style (Recursive's CASL axis), with a touch of slant. Glyph morphing in pure CSS.

Casual Morph

How it works

Casual Morph is an animated entrance & kinetic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Casual Morph exposes 2 dedicated controls — Hue and Speed — 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

/* Casual Morph — generated with TEXT-FX
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Recursive', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Recursive', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 700;
  letter-spacing: 4px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  color: hsl(90 70% 74%);
  font-variation-settings: 'wght' 700, 'CASL' 0.55, 'slnt' -4;
  animation: text-effect-casual 4.4s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes text-effect-casual {
  0%, 100% { font-variation-settings: 'wght' 700, 'CASL' 0, 'slnt' 0; }
  50% { font-variation-settings: 'wght' 700, 'CASL' 1, 'slnt' -8; }
}

Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
