Jelly Wobble
Entrance & Kinetic · Animated · pure CSS
Per-letter squash-and-stretch that wobbles across the word like gel, anchored to the baseline. Playful kinetic typography (per-letter markup).
How it works
Jelly Wobble 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
Jelly Wobble exposes 3 dedicated controls — Hue, Bounce 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
/* Jelly Wobble — generated with TEXT-FX
* HTML: each character is wrapped in a <span> — see the HTML export.
* Font: 'Space Mono', monospace (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: 'Space Mono', monospace;
font-weight: 700;
letter-spacing: 2px;
text-transform: none;
}
.text-effect {
color: hsl(124 50% 70%);
white-space: pre;
}
.text-effect .fx-ch {
display: inline-block;
transform-origin: bottom center;
animation: text-effect-jelly 2.9s ease-in-out infinite;
animation-delay: calc(var(--i) * 0.08s);
}
@keyframes text-effect-jelly {
0%, 40%, 100% { transform: scale(1, 1); }
10% { transform: scale(1.17, 0.83); }
20% { transform: scale(0.88, 1.15); }
30% { transform: scale(1.04, 0.96); }
}
