An animated letter spacing effect built with pure HTML and CSS that dynamically adjusts the spacing between characters to create a breathing or expanding text motion, adding visual interest without altering the font shape or using JavaScript.
Usage
This component is ideal for interfaces where typography should feel alive and expressive, such as hero titles, loading messages, brand statements, or call-to-action text that benefits from rhythmic motion rather than color or size changes.
Implementation
The effect is created using CSS letter spacing transitions or keyframe animations, allowing the spacing between characters to expand and contract smoothly while keeping the text layout readable and lightweight.
