Orbit sets your word around a circular path and pulses the radius of that ring in a bouncy wave, so the text breathes in and out from its centre while it turns.
What Orbit is good for
Badges, seals and circular logos
Record labels and stamp-style marks
Loading and progress motifs
How this animation is built
The type is laid along a circular path, ob-in brings it up, ob-spin rotates the ring, and ob-bounce animates the path radius on a springy curve — because the letters are attached to the path, changing its radius re-flows their spacing automatically rather than scaling them.
Tips for Orbit
Text length changes the arc it covers; short words leave a gap, long words close the circle.
Uppercase reads better around a curve.
Orbit questions
Can I fit text all the way around?
It depends on length — the type follows the path, so a longer word wraps further around the ring. Adjust the word until the spacing looks right.
