Frutiger Aero Water Drop Animated Cursor

Water beading on glass, sparkle highlights, one tiny leaf tucked against the shaft: Frutiger Aero in a single arrow. The droplets drift a few pixels each loop, so it never sits fully still. The hand pointer matches it, same aqua sheen, same wet glaze. The whole thing feels like the good half of 2008 internet and holds up better than most aesthetics do.

(Fun fact: Frutiger Aero is named for Swiss typeface designer Adrian Frutiger, and the aero half is the glassy design language of Windows Vista and 7, the exact era this cursor is pulled out of.)
