Flip In 3D

Entrance & Kinetic · Animated · pure CSS

Each letter swings down into place around its baseline on a shared perspective, staggered with a slight overshoot. A crisp 3D on-load entrance (per-letter markup).

How it works

Flip In 3D is an animated entrance & kinetic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. Each character is wrapped in its own span so it can animate independently — the HTML and JSX exports include that per-letter markup.

Controls

Flip In 3D exposes 3 dedicated controls — Hue, Duration and Stagger — 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

/* Flip In 3D — generated with TEXT-FX
 * HTML: each character is wrapped in a <span> — see the HTML export.
 * Font: 'Anton', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).

HTML

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

<style>
.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Anton', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  letter-spacing: 4px;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

.text-effect {
  color: hsl(121 60% 76%);
  white-space: pre;
  perspective: 600px;
}
.text-effect .fx-ch {
  display: inline-block;
  transform-origin: 50% 100%;
  backface-visibility: hidden;
  animation: text-effect-flip 0.68s cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.7, 0.3, 1.2) both;
  animation-delay: calc(var(--i) * 91ms);
}

@keyframes text-effect-flip {
  0% { transform: rotateX(-90deg); opacity: 0; }
  60% { transform: rotateX(18deg); opacity: 1; }
  100% { transform: rotateX(0); opacity: 1; }
}
</style>
