How to reveal one letter at a time? [closed]

Question

When my web page loads, using CSS, I want the text "widget world" to appear across the top as if someone were writing it manually; one letter at a time would appear.

I'm going to use a cursive font. There would be a few milliseconds delay in between each letter appearing.

I thought to make each letter a separate div then fade them in one by one.

Answer 1

Here's a snippet for something that you are looking for.

p{
  color: Pink; 
  font-family: "Courier";
  font-size: 20px;
  margin: 10px 0 0 10px;
  white-space: nowrap;
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 30em;
  animation: type 4s steps(60, end); 
}

@keyframes type{ 
  from { width: 0; } 
} 

<p>Hi folks, this is typing animation using CSS</p>

Answer 2

Maybe this way will fit you: fixed width for inline-block and animation for decrease or increase its width

div {
  display: inline-block;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  animation: example 2s linear 0s infinite alternate;
}

@keyframes example {
  from {
    width: 0;
  }
  to {
    width: 150px;
  }
}

<div>some text</div>
