Dot Matrix Wordmark

A full-bleed footer wordmark drawn as a field of dots sampled from real type. Dots sweep in on reveal and swell under your cursor.

Features

  • Text is rasterised once off screen at the exact width, then sampled onto a dot grid, so it fits any viewport edge to edge.
  • Dots sweep in left to right with a little jitter the first time the footer scrolls into view.
  • A smoothed spotlight follows the pointer: nearby dots grow and brighten, everything else stays quiet.
  • Cropped by the bottom edge with a fade mask, the detail most big-wordmark footers skip.
  • Follows the theme colour, pauses off screen and respects reduced motion.

Why I built this

Big edge-to-edge wordmarks are everywhere in footers right now, and most are just huge text. I wanted mine to belong to this site, which is built out of dot grids and thin lines.

Sampling the letters into dots made the name feel like part of the background pattern, and the cursor spotlight gives you a reason to linger at the bottom of the page.
