Caption styles
Six caption styles, each made for a kind of creator
Most caption tools hand you a pile of fonts. Subtightl gives you six complete looks — type, how the words appear, how the spoken word is marked and how it moves — each designed for a kind of video. You choose the kind of creator you are, not a font.
Subtightl has six caption styles: Punch (coaches, fitness, founders), Clean (educators, podcasts), Soft (storytelling, beauty), Bounce (streamers, gaming, comedy), Lyric (music) and Elegant (fashion, aesthetic). Every style except Soft marks each word as it is spoken.
PunchFor coaches, fitness and founders. Built to land a point: one word at a time, in heavy capitals, the spoken word punched out in a coloured box.
CleanFor educators, explainers and podcasters. The full line stays on screen and only the colour moves — the easiest style to read along with.
SoftFor storytellers and beauty creators. Words arrive one by one into a calm, left-aligned column, and the oldest gently blur away — captions that read like a page.
BounceFor streamers, gamers and comedy. Short bursts of a few words spring onto the screen — captions that keep up with fast talkers.
LyricFor musicians and lyric videos. The whole line sits on screen like a lyric sheet, and each sung word lights up with a glow.
ElegantFor fashion, beauty and aesthetic content. An italic serif line, like a magazine caption, with a fine underline gliding from word to word.
Every clip here is a real export from the app. Hover to play; tap a card to open the style.
