Easing is not polish — it is punctuation for movement.
Where this fits
Easing is not polish — it is punctuation for movement. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.
The essentials
- Linear reads mechanical: reserve it for data and UI honesty
- Ease-out reads responsive: entrances that answer the viewer
- Ease-in reads deliberate: exits with intent
- Overshoot reads playful: use where the brand smiles
- Anticipation reads alive: nothing moves without a breath first
The proof point
8/10 — viewers describe identical content as “higher quality” when easing is consistent.
The bottom line
Choose your curves like a writer chooses punctuation — meaning rides on them.
