Floating

3D & Depth · Animated · pure CSS

The word hovers above the page, casting a large soft shadow far below while it gently bobs — levitation, not a tight drop shadow.

Floating

How it works

Floating is an animated 3d & depth text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Floating exposes 3 dedicated controls — Hue, Height 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

/* Floating — made with TEXT-FX · https://text-fx.app
 * HTML: just put the class on any element.
 * Font: 'Syne', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
 */

.text-effect {
  font-family: 'Syne', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
  letter-spacing: 4px;
  text-transform: none;
}

.text-effect {
  color: hsl(209 60% 78%);
  filter: drop-shadow(0 10px 9px hsl(209 50% 4% / 0.5));
  animation: text-effect-float 3.7s ease-in-out infinite;
}

@keyframes text-effect-float {
  0%, 100% { transform: translateY(0); }
  50% { transform: translateY(-4px); }
}

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