To save someone else the searching time, this eye-catching text-scrolling effect is mostly made possible with the scrollorama jquery plugin

Yikes! That puppy nearly killed my browser (FF13, Ubuntu).

Have we had enough of these demos yet to be bored of them? The typeface and jquery effect are two different things. Frankly the header isn't even a good demo of the typeface, it's rather distracting from the quality of the typeface itself. For example, the C doesn't normally have a lighting bolt through it. The damn header doesn't even display a sentence or a full "title" to see if it would be decent as a headline font.

Muddying up your own font by overusing a jquery gimmick? I hate to be that stodgy guy because I don't have a blanket hate of jquery but it doesn't seem like the best way of displaying a typeface :/

I concur, the header put me completely off the font, but after scrolling and seeing the examples of each weight I actually quite like it.

I personally don't mind the scrolling effect (there are much worse examples out there).

What I find really off-putting is that I scrolled and the page did not go down, not until letters completely flew away. I had the uncanny feeling I was required to work against the page.

Thanks for the critique. We'll keep your arguments in mind for further updates. - getCirulis team

Mobile users will need to request the desktop version of the site, otherwise you get a static page. Aside from that, it works well on chrome for android.

Yes. The intended effect is that when you try to scroll the page the letters in the headline explode outwards.

I usually like these demos, but effects break the act of scrolling DOWN a page, I'm not a fan.
