Guidelines

Motion

Motion is slow and settles. Things arrive quickly and take their time to stop, the way a heavy door closes. Nothing bounces, nothing spins, nothing moves on its own.

Tokens

Two curves and one long duration, declared in @theme.
--ease-coachcubic-bezier(0.22, 1, 0.36, 1)

Everything that arrives: hovers, reveals, underlines.

--ease-coach-in-outcubic-bezier(0.65, 0, 0.35, 1)

Things that travel and stop: a sheet, a carousel.

Rules

  • Motion answers something the reader did. Nothing autoplays, loops or parallaxes.
  • Opacity and transform only. Never animate layout, colour on photographs, or blur.
  • With prefers-reduced-motion, travel and scale go; fades stay, because they tell you something changed.
  • Exits are quicker than entrances, and a hover that ends returns without delay.
