Nice pen by Aaron Iker: It combines CSS Custom Properties, CSS Transitions, and SVG Animations using stroke-dashoffset/stroke-dasharray. The reason that it works with text that spans multiple lines is because of the (inline) span that’s being used inside the link.

Creating a Pencil Effect in SVG
Using the feTurbulence and feDisplacementMap filters, Scott Turner make his SVG line-drawings look like they’re pencil-on-paper-like drawings: See the Pen SVG Pencil Filter #1 by Scott Turner (@srt19170) on CodePen.

Multi-line Highlights in CSS
The key CSS property you’re looking for is display: inline;, as set on the p elements, along with some box-decoration-break clone; where needed 😉
Crafting a Cutout Collage Layout with CSS Grid and clip-path
On Codrops there’s a tutorial on how to create a Cutout Collage Layout using CSS Grid and Clip Path. The result looks quite nice I must say: What I’m not too excited about in this implementation is the fact that it requires you to manually cut up the image into parts beforehand, even though clip-path […]

Clever usage a gradient background and mix-blend-mode. On hover the size of the background is changed, revealing the rest of the text contents: . New to Compositing And Blending In CSS? Look no further.
CSS-Only Direction Aware Hover
In the past I’ve seen some demos like this one that use JavaScript/math to calculate the hover direction upon mouseenter. Detecting the direction is also possible sans JavaScript, by adding triangular hitareas to a box/link in combination with the CSS General Sibling Selector (viz. ~) to rotate the content. Internally it looks like this: Note […]
CSS Transparent and Outlined Text
For a recent project we did at work I needed outlined text. Using text-shadow you can achieve the desired effect, but one must admit: it’s ugly. Some browsers however (Webkit) support the text-stroke property which gets a much nicer result. Here’s a demo pen: See the Pen CSS Transparent and Outlined Text by Bramus! (@bramus) […]
