Typewriter cursor animation

Typewriter cursor reveals a line character by character in a monospace font, with a blinking block cursor marking the typing sequence. The changing text provides a natural point of attention for short taglines, terminal introductions, and message reveals. The library preview shows the specific effect. Choose a concise line and allow a final pause so viewers can read the complete message after typing ends.
