A CodePen by Blake Johnson. Text hightlight with punk influences - I see poster designs etc. with this style of highlighted text and recently I talked to a designer about doing something like this on a website. I've wanted to try this forever and wanted to try using pseudo elements for the highlighting (so the text stays crispy since text gets rendered weird when CSS transforms are applied) and so you could apply any styling to them without styling the actually text.
I used a markup pattern similar to lettering.js because I'd use it on a real site.
The text is just lyrics from a fav Built to Spill song called The Plan.
And those are my kids :)
