# Tooltip animated icon

The target is hovered and its tooltip pops up with the hint. Light: the target dot swells, the bubble ducks into its tail, pops out with an overshoot and settles, and its two text lines write in from the left, the second a beat after the first. Strong: the target taps in and swells, the bubble ducks deeper, pops bigger with a two-beat settle, and the lines write in turn. The bubble grows from its tail tip, so it stays anchored to its target.
