Typewriter

Text types itself with a blinking caret

How to use it

Paste the HTML where the text animations should appear.
Add the CSS to your stylesheet. All classes are prefixed, so nothing clashes with your own styles.
Add the JavaScript and call init() with the element that contains the HTML.

<!-- Typewriter · NedDev · eigen werk. -->
<div class="jouw-container">
<div class="twc-wrap" data-words="Wij bouwen.|Wij ontwerpen.|Wij leveren."><span class="twc-text"></span><span class="twc-caret"></span></div>
</div>

/* Typewriter · NedDev · eigen werk. */
.twc-wrap{font:700 clamp(22px,5vw,46px)/1.1 'Boldonse','Switzer',sans-serif;color:#0a0a0a;display:flex;align-items:center;gap:.05em}
.twc-text{white-space:pre}.twc-caret{display:inline-block;width:.08em;height:1em;background:#F5480F;animation:twc-blink 1s steps(1) infinite}
@keyframes twc-blink{50%{opacity:0}}

// Typewriter · NedDev · eigen werk.
// root = het element waarin de HTML staat
function init(root){
root=root.querySelector('.twc-wrap')||root;var out=root.querySelector('.twc-text');var words=(root.dataset.words||'Hello.').split('|');var reduce=matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion:reduce)').matches;if(reduce){out.textContent=words[0];return;}var wi=0,ci=0,del=false;function tick(){var w=words[wi];out.textContent=w.slice(0,ci);if(!del){ci++;if(ci>w.length){del=true;setTimeout(tick,1100);return;}}else{ci--;if(ci===0){del=false;wi=(wi+1)%words.length;}}setTimeout(tick,del?45:90);}tick();
}
init(document.querySelector('.jouw-container'));
