Caption style

Elegant: captions for fashion, beauty and aesthetic content

An italic serif line, like a magazine caption, with a fine underline gliding from word to word.

Elegant is the Subtightl caption style for fashion, beauty and aesthetic content. The full line is set in Fraunces italic, and a thin accent underline glides beneath the word being spoken while the text itself stays still.

Why Elegant works

Elegant is the quietest of the six: an italic serif like a magazine caption, with a fine line marking the spoken word. It suits content where the visuals are curated and loud captions would cheapen the frame — fashion, beauty, interiors, travel.

Less suited to: Noisy, fast content — the underline is subtle by design.

Make it yours

The underline comes in peach, champagne, dusty rose or white, or a custom colour. Elegant looks best a little smaller than the other styles, low in the frame and clear of the product or outfit. Size and position are yours too, and your last choice is remembered for the next video.
