On-Scroll Text Repetition Animation

An on-scroll animation that shows repeated fragments of a big text as seen on the website of Dr. Dabber.

Today I’d like to share a simple, but intriguing looking typography effect with you. This on-scroll animation is a recreation of the effect seen on the fabulous site of Dr. Dabber, where you see fragments of a large text moving as you scroll the page.

As we scroll we move out several layers of the same text at the top and bottom. By setting the same background color as the page, we can create gaps between these layers.

With some style adjustments we can create a variety of looks, text-shadow like ones or outlines, the possibilities are endless!

This is how it looks when you scroll:

I really hope you enjoy this little effect and find it useful!
