Almost all of the text and box fragment designs I’ve seen online use SVG, and maybe even JavaScript, which is great – and resourceful – but I wanted a simpler method (by simpler, I mean CSS 🐒) to show a plain fragment effect 💔
Using auto margin to center an item in both the horizontal and vertical axes is tricky — unless that item is a grid item.
I’ve known about :target for a while and have always found it to be quiet useful, but I think with an added animation spin to it, it can be truly profitable 👍
For the codepen output, if you want to add fonts, like google fonts, you can do that in more than one way.

The answer is, a blueprint! I’m not kidding, this is the single best thing you could include in your Grid workflow (if you got one) that’ll make you master the gridding work
I’ve seen CSS vertical-align used only in table cells before, also, in the centering technique where an element with a display:table parent gets display:table-cell and vertical-align:middle to center its contents, vertically.
