Muted gray text with a bright band of light sweeping across it, the shimmer used on loading and AI "thinking" labels.

The word "Generating" sits in a muted gray. A soft band of light passes across the letters from left to right and repeats, so the text looks like a live loading or AI status label. The shine is clipped to the letter shapes, so the background stays untouched. The loop runs about four seconds.

You can change the text, the base and shine colors, the font size and weight, the playback speed and the background. Use it for AI product demos, loading states, "processing" moments in app walkthroughs or a subtle title treatment.
