Fade In

The simplest, most restrained intro: the headline fades up and the subtitle follows. Reach for this when the words should do the work.

When to use

Pure opacity with a small upward translate. No spring, no per-word stagger, no caret. The headline arrives, the subtitle follows. Quietly perfect.

Use this when the typography itself is the design — long elegant headlines, editorial pull-quotes, restrained brand intros. It also pairs well as the back half of a sequence: pop the first card in, fade the next.
