Animate any text with a typewriter effect instantly

Static headings do their job but they do nothing to hold attention. A typewriter effect - characters appearing one by one as if being typed in real time - draws the eye, creates a moment of engagement, and gives a heading room to communicate more than a single static phrase. Achieving this in Webflow without a kit means writing custom JavaScript, managing animation loops manually, and rebuilding the same logic on every project.

The Fractional TypeWriter Kit solves this with a single lightweight script and a set of custom attributes applied directly in the Webflow Designer.

Here is what you need to know:

• The Fractional TypeWriter Kit works by targeting an inline span element placed inside any Webflow heading. The span is where the animated text appears — the rest of the heading remains completely static. This means you can have a heading that reads We build with the typewriter effect cycling through websites., brands., and experiences. — all controlled through attributes with no JavaScript required.
• Two modes are available. Single mode types the word once and stops — ideal for a hero heading where you want one clear message delivered with impact. Multi mode types a word, pauses, backspaces it, and types the next word in the list — looping indefinitely. Choose the mode that fits the intent of the heading.
• The word list in multi mode is fully configurable. Add as many words or phrases as you need using the /,/ separator. Each one types in sequence then loops back to the beginning automatically.
• Typing speed is configurable. Set the delay between each character in milliseconds — the default is 80ms which feels natural and readable. Increase it for a slower more deliberate effect or decrease it for a faster more energetic one.
• A blinking pipe cursor is injected automatically alongside the text. In single mode the cursor is removed once typing completes. In multi mode it persists throughout the animation. Style the cursor independently using the fc-typewriter-cursor class in Webflow — change the colour, weight, or something custom.
• Multiple typewriter instances work independently on the same page. Each span runs its own animation with its own word list and timing — a page with three different typewriter headings each cycles through its own set of words without any interference.
• The Fractional TypeWriter is fully GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA compliant. It sets no cookies, makes no external requests, and collects no personal data of its own.
