Where is the option for font-variation animation in the Webflow typography panel?

In the Webflow typography panel, you will not find a specific option for font-variation animation. Webflow currently supports variable fonts, which are fonts that have built-in multiple variations within a single file. However, animating the variations of a variable font is not directly available in the typography panel.
To achieve font-variation animation in Webflow, you can use custom code or interactions. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
- Select the element that contains the text you want to animate.
- Go to the "Animations" tab on the right sidebar.
- Click on the "+" icon to add a new animation.
- Choose the trigger that will initiate the animation (e.g., page load, scroll into view, click).
- Set the desired animation properties, such as duration, delay, and easing.
- Scroll down to the "Advanced" section and click on the "Add an action" button.
- Choose the "Run JavaScript" option.
- In the JavaScript code field, write your custom code to manipulate the font variations.
- You can use CSS properties like
font-variation-settings
and@font-face
to control the variations. - For example, you could use the
document.querySelector
method to select the element and then modify its font variations using thestyle.setProperty
method.
- Save your changes and preview the animation to see the font variations in action.
By using this method, you can create custom font-variation animations in Webflow. Keep in mind that this requires some knowledge of JavaScript and CSS. Additionally, remember to test your animations on different browsers to ensure cross-browser compatibility.
