Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
direction | up | up, down | Which side of the baseline the words travel in from. |
distance | standard | close, standard, far | Scales the vertical offset, so the words cover a shorter or longer run in the same time. |
tone | ink | ink, paper, accent | Word colour: ink for light frames, paper for dark ones, accent rides —brand. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="shared-axis-y"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/shared-axis-y.html"
data-variable-values='{"direction":"up","distance":"standard","tone":"ink"}'
></div>

Shared Axis Y - remocn typography primitive for HyperFrames.
Paste the markup, CSS and script into a composition. Drive the timeline
integration from a paused GSAP timeline so renders remain deterministic.
Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
anything missing or unrecognised, and writes the result as a custom property
the CSS above consumes. The timeline recipe below is untouched by them: it
keeps driving one vertical offset, and these decide what that offset means
on screen. At rest the offset is 0, so every setting lands on the same
final frame.
- direction (up | down, default up): which side of the baseline the words
travel in from. up rises into place, down drops in.
- distance (close | standard | far, default standard): scales the offset.
close covers half the run, far nearly double, in the same time.
- tone (ink | paper | accent, default ink): word colour. ink is near-black
for light frames, paper near-white for dark ones, accent rides --brand.
On every default the result is identical to the original: words rise 32px
into place in near-black.
