I’m now implementing this tip on some titles coming up in the new year. Certainly a better way of implementing form fields than I had in mind.
One thing I did note at 2:34 of the video is an inadvertent “hover scrolling” when the cursor went over the top of the font and changed the font dramatically.
Awesome Colin!
