Soft sans lowercase, italic serif accents
Plain white lowercase sans in two short lines, with chosen words switching to an italic serif at a slightly larger size for a magazine-like voice. Vlogs, routines and simple explainers where the captions should feel calm and editorial rather than loud.

Add word-timed captions to my video in this style: "Soft sans lowercase, italic serif accents" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/captions/sans-lower-italic-serif-accent/preset.json (pass its "preset" to the engine; its "script" is demo text).
Engine (MIT, no dependencies, ES module): https://24fps.dev/editor/engine.js. Download the engine next to your page (curl -O) rather than importing cross-origin, then import { mount } from "./engine.js" in a <script type="module"> served over http.
Wiring: root = a position:relative box at the video's size. media = { main }: main is a wrapper holding my video, filling the root. Then const fx = mount(root, { kind: "captions", preset, script: words, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. It is seek-safe: drive it from the GSAP timeline in HyperFrames or call render(frame / fps) in Remotion. Before capturing frames, await (fx.ready ?? document.fonts.ready). Check it on my footage: if text is hidden behind the subject or doesn't read against my colours, nudge the layer positions or colours.
Transcribe my audio to word timestamps first (e.g. Whisper with word timestamps) and pass words as [{ w, s, e, emph }] with s/e in seconds; set emph: true on words to stress. A plain string also works (evenly timed, *word* = emphasis).
