# Letter spacing animated icon

The letter spacing opens up, driven by the double arrow. Light: the arrow stretches, its heads pushing out 2.2 and stopping dead, and 60 ms later the letters A and V are pushed apart the same distance; the spread rebounds a touch, then everything closes back quicker with a small settle. Strong: the arrow and letters squeeze in first, then the arrow throws its heads out 3.2 and the letters follow to a hit, rebound twice and close back with a settle.
