The long entry
Cubic Beziers describe nearly every easing curve in modern motion design. Two anchors, two handles — drag them and you change the personality of the move. cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) feels expensive; cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1) feels considered; linear feels mechanical. Learning to read curves on sight is a working motion designer's first literacy.
