Usage

Use for comic-book, playful, or high-energy hero headlines.
Use for promotional display text, event titles, and themed landing-page sections.
Use when a decorative animated treatment is more appropriate than a neutral text heading.
Avoid using it for long-form content or essential instructional text.

API reference

PropTypeDefaultDescription

childrenstring—The text to render. It must be a string; a runtime error is thrown for non-string children.

classNamestring | undefined—Optional class names merged with the component's default `text-center select-none` classes.

styleReact.CSSProperties | undefined—Optional inline styles merged after the component's generated styles, allowing them to override generated values.

fontSizenumber | undefined5Font size in rem units. It also controls the black text-stroke width through `fontSize * 0.35` pixels.

Accessibility

The component renders a `div`, not a semantic heading or other landmark element; use it alongside an appropriate semantic heading when the text conveys document structure.
The component applies `text-transform: uppercase` visually, but the original string remains the accessible text content.
The transparent text fill and decorative background treatment may reduce readability in some browsers or themes; verify contrast and provide a plain-text alternative when the content is essential.
The entrance animation is always enabled and does not check `prefers-reduced-motion`; consider offering an alternative or avoiding it for motion-sensitive contexts.
Do not use the component as the only way to communicate critical information because its styling is decorative and its text may be difficult to read at smaller sizes.
