Proximity Type

Install

Or by hand, in a Next.js project with shadcn set up. It writes components/pastetaste/proximity-type.tsx.

Install the pastetaste component "Proximity Type" (proximity-type) into this Next.js project and use it.

What it is: Variable-font lettering that answers the pointer: each glyph eases a font axis by its distance to the cursor and settles on leave.

Before you place it, ask me (one short message, in my language; "skip" = sensible default): which page and section it goes in, my brand colour (hex), the text, labels or images it should show, and whether I want my logo or my own copy in the demo content. Then:

Steps:
1. If the project has no components.json, run: npx shadcn@latest init -y -d. Then run: npx shadcn@latest add https://pastetaste.com/r/proximity-type.json
   (it writes components/pastetaste/proximity-type.tsx; install any npm packages it reports).
2. Import it: import { ProximityType } from "@/components/pastetaste/proximity-type" (check the file for the exact named export).
3. Put it where it fits on the page I name, keep the rest of the page untouched, and pass props for my colours instead of editing the installed file.
4. It does not depend on Tailwind; colours come from CSS variables (--pt-*) or props.
5. It supports prefers-reduced-motion with a still state; do not remove it.

Props (all optional unless the type has no default):
- text: string = required — The text to render.
- axis: string = 'wght' — Font variation axis tag.
- from: number = 300 — Axis value at rest.
- to: number = 800 — Axis value under the pointer.
- radius: number = 180 — Influence radius in px.
- falloff: number = 1.6 — Above 1 gives a sharper peak.
- ease: number = 0.12 — 0–1, lower settles more smoothly.
- as: 'span' | 'h1' | 'h2' | 'h3' | 'p' = 'span' — Rendered element.

Then run the dev server, check it in the browser at desktop and mobile width, and tell me the page URL.
