The word drops onto a trampoline, sinks into the mat and gets thrown back up, forever. The mat is one pseudo-element: its bottom border curves into a sag as its height grows.
Also known as: bouncing word animation, jumping text on a line, boing text effect.

Currently previewing #3b82f6.--txt-size. Every other dimension is in
em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 40px.transition or animation
shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
