# Portfolio Preloader with Skeleton Key

> Portfolio preloader where a typographic collage assembles itself while the page loads: the first letter prints pixel by pixel, a monogram draws stroke by stroke, a tag pill and ink swoosh drop in, a handwritten version counts up, and at 100 a gilded skeleton key turns in a keyhole and the camera dives through to the page. Grab and throw the key while it loads. Your name, words and colours, honours reduced motion.
