Each word is clipped inside a slot and translates up 115% — creating the look of text emerging from beneath the line. Scroll down to see it trigger.
75ms per word
The overflow-hidden wrapper clips each word so it's invisible until it rises into view. No clip-path, no opacity — just a translateY from 115% to 0.
60ms per word — faster rhythm
Shorten the stagger to 60ms for a crisper, more decisive rhythm. Works well for shorter headlines where all words should feel connected rather than sequential.
Large display — 90ms
For large display type, wrap each line (not word) in its own slot. The stagger then cascades line by line for a slow, editorial reveal.
