Sheen
Metallic & Holographic · Animated · pure CSS
A soft silver heading with a slow specular highlight gliding across now and then — the understated glint premium brands use on a wordmark.
How it works
Sheen is an animated metallic & holographic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.
Controls
Sheen exposes 2 dedicated controls — Tint Hue and Sweep — 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
/* Sheen — generated with TEXT-FX
* HTML: just put the class on any element.
* Font: 'Archivo Black', sans-serif (load from Google Fonts).
*/
.text-effect {
font-family: 'Archivo Black', sans-serif;
font-weight: 400;
letter-spacing: 0px;
text-transform: none;
}
.text-effect {
background: linear-gradient(100deg, transparent 40%, hsl(0 0% 100% / 0.85) 50%, transparent 60%), linear-gradient(180deg, hsl(294 12% 92%), hsl(294 14% 72%));
background-size: 240% 100%, 100% 100%;

@keyframes text-effect-sheen {
0% { background-position: 130% 0, 0 0; }
45%, 100% { background-position: -130% 0, 0 0; }
}
Pure CSS — just add the .text-effect class to any element.
