About Shadow Doppelgänger

Shadow Doppelgänger

Bring your typography to life with Shadow Doppelgänger, a smooth cursor-reactive text effect built for Framer.

The original text stays perfectly in place while a second “ghost” copy follows your cursor with natural delay and inertia. As you move, the ghost reacts dynamically with displacement, velocity, stretching, directional skew, blur, and opacity—creating a fluid and expressive motion effect. When the cursor stops or leaves the component, the ghost smoothly returns to its original position.
