Helpful information

Headlines include editorial, framed and compact Plain/Soft designs. Plain Auto Width and Soft Auto Width adapt their width to text; fixed-width compact designs wrap and adapt their height. Compact designs use collection brand colors and font.

Platform Chat includes Floating Reply 50, Reverse Quote 50, Editorial Conversation and Split Capsule 50 among the available designs. The 50 designs have a translucent background while text and portraits remain independently visible. Tickers include Floating Wire, Stacked Dispatch, Index Track and Capsule Terminal. Choose the version that suits your output size, then check readability over the actual background. Existing designs remain available.
