Holographic Foil
Metallic & Holographic · Animated · pure CSS
Iridescent foil that shifts hue continuously via an animated @property angle on a conic gradient. That holographic-sticker shimmer, in pure CSS.
How it works
Holographic Foil is an animated metallic & holographic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It animates a registered CSS @property, which keeps the motion smooth and GPU-friendly.
Controls
Holographic Foil exposes 2 dedicated controls — Speed and Saturation — 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
/* Holographic Foil — made with TEXT-FX · https://text-fx.app
* HTML: just put the class on any element.
* Font: 'Recursive', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
