Wavy Text Hover
A two-line serif headline floats on a travelling sine wave: every character bobs, tilts along the slope and swells slightly on the crests. Near the pointer the amplitude rises sharply, then settles back to a lazy idle wave with inertia.

light Variable-font Weight Wave
A single display word split into characters whose font weight (300 → 900) and SOFT axis follow the pointer with a Gaussian falloff; leaving sends a left-to-right ripple back to rest, and touch devices get an automatic looping wave.

light Text Scatter & Assemble
A two-line serif headline bursts apart from the cursor: characters fly outward along radial vectors with random spin and blur, the nearest ones furthest. Leaving springs them back with an elastic, out of order; on touch a tap plays the whole burst.

Featured light SplitText Character Reveal
A headline is split into characters that rise out of a masked line one after another, followed by a soft fade-in of the supporting copy and a replay button.

medium Particle Text Wave
A serif heading is sampled into thousands of points that ride a travelling wave — each circles on its own Gerstner orbit, warped by noise, shaded bright on the crests with accent glints — and the pointer drops ripples that roll outward through the type.
