Animated type icon
Type is a 1.2 s micro animation from the text editing set that replays on every click, like Italic and Underline. Click icons typically confirm send, save, refresh, download, add-to-cart and formatting buttons.

Questions about the Type icon
›Do fast clicks on Type queue up?
No queue: every click restarts the 1.2 s run from the first frame. With reduced motion preferred, clicks still reach your onClick but the icon stays still.
›Should the Type icon be a <button>?
Put its events on a real button with the render prop: render={(events, icon) => <button aria-label="Type" {...events}><span {...icon} /></button>}. The animation itself stays aria-hidden.
›Can Type play on hover instead?
Yes: pass interaction="hover-replay". It then plays once on mouseenter unless reduced motion is preferred. Leaving does not stop it; entering during playback does not restart it.
