Text scrambling.

Cycle characters for counters or decoding-style reveals.

Character offsets cycle the displayed glyphs while preserving the original text. Four digit selectors settle into the year at slightly different moments. The source number, selector ranges and scramble timing remain editable.

A prompt to start from

Use Strata. Create a Bone typographic countdown-style reveal. Place an Exposure “Next chapter.” headline above a large Denim SemiBold “2026”. Keep those four digits as one text layer. Use characterOffset on four index-based Text Animators to cycle each digit within its number class, then settle the digits one after another between 1.6 and 2.2 seconds. Hold the year clearly over a thin Sea horizon. Do not swap prerendered number images or animate the source string.
