![]() Let’s say that we want to be the opposite! In this animation, the letter i is being animated from the bottom to the top. ![]() See the Pen Typography animation by Louis Hoebregts ( on CodePen. Offset each tween with 250ms so that they don't animate all at once Animate each path to an offset of 0 so that it makes it visible again }, 0) // We want this to happen at the very beginning of our TimeLine To avoid that, I'm increasing the values a little bit until I don't see any dotĪutoRound: false // Avoid issue with GreenSock rounding our values to integers Because of rounded linecap, we sometimes see a little dot at the beginning of the path Assign the stroke-dasharray and stroke-dashoffset properties to the path's length Define a random delay when the tween will start Create a GreenSock timeline that will repeat infinitely For the sake of the demo, I’m also using the GreenSock DevTools and I initiate the devtools with the timeline (⚠️ Those devtools only work for free on CodePen). We first create a global TimeLine so that we can repeat the animation easily. If you are not familiar with it, you can check this short post by Chris Coyier that explains it very well. Lastly, we will animate each path using the stroke-dashoffset technique. Setup a GreenSock animation for each letter If you load the page now, there shouldn’t be any difference except for the strokes to be the colours of your last item in the array.īut if you inspect the page, you should see each path being duplicated twice in the DOM. Since I also have line tags in my SVG, I need to select every path and line elementsĭocument.querySelectorAll('.mySvg path. Call the function for each element we want to animate Append the clone to the source path's parent If this is not the first iteration, clone the path The last colour being the final state of the textĬonst colors = Store an array with the colours we want for this animation ![]() Let’s create a function we can call for each path tag in our SVG and generate the clones. So each path has to be duplicated twice, with a different colour each time. We could already have all the paths ready in our markup, but I find it easier to make it directly in our JavaScript. Load your SVG and dynamically generate the markupįor this animation, we need each path to be drawn three times, every time with a different colour. Make sure the option Merge paths is disable, otherwise you might have some letters combined into a single path. Select your letter and cut it in half in any your vector software.Įxport your file on your computer and import it to SVGOMG to optimize and remove any unwanted code. Let’s say for example that we want the letter O to be drawn from two paths going left and right instead of a single path doing a full circle. Once you have chosen your method, edit the paths the way you want your animation to behave. Use an online tool like True single-stroke-font text creator.Using the built-in (since v0.91) Hershey Text extension in Inkscape.Manually draw the letters using your favourite vector graphic software.There are different ways of drawing your own text with single strokes. We call that kind of typeface a monoline, hairline or even stroke font. This is because we need each letter to be drawn from a single path using a thick stroke. Sadly this animation cannot be made easily with any typeface you want. Create the SVG file using an hairline font Setup a GreenSock animation for each letterġ.Load your SVG and dynamically generate the markup.Create the SVG file using an hairline font.Here are the 3 steps we will follow in this tutorial: Here is the part of the motion with the logo that I slowed down 3 times to clearly show what is happening.įrom what we can see, each path is being drawn three times, each with a different colour and a little delay between each. In this article we will only focus on the typography animation of the logo. Orion Icon Library intro animation by Louis Hoebregts ( CodePen. I did adapt a bit the motion and used my own name instead of Orion, but here is my pretty decent result ✨ ![]() This video felt to me like a perfect challenge to recreate it using only SVG and GreenSock. I recently discovered the website of Orion Icon library and I instantly fell in love with their motion opening video.
