Ticker Scroll

Entrance & Kinetic · Animated · pure CSS

A seamless news-ticker: two identical copies of your text scroll in an endless conveyor loop, with the strip's edges dissolving glyphs in and out via a soft mask fade. Hover pauses the scroll — the classic ticker-tape convention, done in pure CSS.

How it works

Ticker Scroll is an animated entrance & kinetic text effect rendered entirely in CSS. It works on a single element — just add the .text-effect class, with no extra HTML.

Controls

Ticker Scroll exposes 3 dedicated controls — Speed, Direction and Edge Fade — 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

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