Inflated Type

Puffy candy-coloured letters drop in on springs, wobble like jelly and get bowled over on a doodle wallpaper.

1:1Medium pace7splayfulbouncysweet

Playful toy-like style for apps, creative tools, kids' products, games and fun feature announcements. A short word is set in huge rounded letters, each inflated in its own saturated candy colour (magenta, amber, lime, cyan, violet) with stacked-shadow extrusion, a coloured glow and glossy highlights. Letters drop in one by one and squash on landing, jiggle on a jelly beat, then a striped bouncy ball rolls through and knocks them flying before they bounce back into place. Behind them an off-white wallpaper of small black doodle icons drifts slowly, and a mono caption strip lists features.

Single continuous shot in beats: drop-in (0–1.2s), wobble and squash waves (1.2–3.3s), ball knock (3.3–5.3s), end card (5.6s+). Something is always bouncing.

Transitions and text

  • no cuts: one continuous toy-box shot on a slowly drifting doodle wallpaper
  • a rolling ball sweeps through the frame and resets the composition
  • word springs up and shrinks to make room for the end-card tagline and pill
  • letters drop from above one at a time (0.12s stagger) and squash to scaleY 0.7 on landing, then spring back elastically
  • continuous ±5° jelly wobble with a staggered squash wave on the beat
  • letters knocked into the air with rotation, then fall back with bounce.out
  • feature strip items pop in one by one with back.out

Style guide your agent follows

  1. Background: paper #f3efe6 tiled with small (~44px) black #1b1b1b doodle icons (eye, flower, sparkle, smiley, bolt, swirl, heart, ghost) at random rotations plus coloured confetti dots; drift the whole wallpaper ~270px diagonally over the video.
  2. One short word (4–6 letters) in Fredoka 700 at ~360px on 1080, each letter its own candy colour: #ff2e88, #ffb000, #7ed321, #12c9e8, #9a3cff.
  3. Inflate each letter with three stacked copies: an extrusion layer (7 stacked 2px text-shadows in a darker shade + a soft drop shadow + a 50px glow in the letter colour), a top-lit linear-gradient body clipped to the text, and a blurred radial white highlight clipped to the text.
  4. Nest each letter as position > wobble > squash wrappers (transform-origin 50% 90%) so drops, wobble and squash never fight. Squash = scaleX 1.24 / scaleY 0.7 for 0.07s, then elastic.out(1.2, 0.3).
  5. Add one physical interruption (ball, toy, cursor) that knocks the letters up with rotation; they fall back with bounce.out ~0.95s.
  6. Feature strip: Space Mono 700 uppercase 21px with magenta separators on paper-coloured chips; end with a 60px tagline and a black pill CTA.
  7. Avoid sharp or serif type, dark backgrounds, and static frames: keep something wobbling at all times.
