Recipe notes
On a black background, a keyword in a slogan gets "charged" by a gradient color sweep fast left-to-right — the wavefront characters glow brightest then decay backward, and once filled, thin purple-red lightning links between characters while the whole word holds a steady breathing glow
When to use it
Charging a single verb/selling-point word inside a slogan (Supercharged/faster/AI…); text drama at energy peaks; slogan frames in black-field brand films
Intent
Within a full line of white text, only the keyword gets "electrified": a gradient color sweeps fast left-to-right across the characters like energy injection — brightest at the moment of the sweep (wavefront trail), then decaying to steady state; once filled, thin linking lightning jumps between characters while the word keeps a breathing glow. Three linchpins: **fast** (sweep-charge 15–20f, slower reads as a progress bar), **wavefront brightest** (just-lit characters have the strongest effect; without this gradient it's a static gradient crop), and **glow restraint** (AE-style multi-layer bloom but don't blur it into a blob — lightning thin and sparse is the decoration).
