Settle Scale

Usage notes
Safe default for product UIs where copy should feel polished without drawing attention. Inverse of typical scale-up reveals — starting at 1.06 and resolving to 1 reads as a settle, not an entrance. Pair with shared-axis-y for the surrounding chrome to feel coherent.
Inspired by Apple product copy transitions; restrained product UI moments where motion must feel polished but not animated..
