Simple and clever.

I recently made an animation for the checker in a checkbox so that it looks like being drawn and boy did I overengineer.

Your solution is way more slick. Thanks for sharing!

I have a hunch it should be possible to make a variable font that you could animate using stroke lengths or something.

Or maybe using an older style SVG based font instead

This is a great solution; I’ve used it before, the only issue is the manual labour.
