Quadtree Subdivision

Reveal the word [TEXT] through recursive square subdivision on warm cream with thin beige gaps between tiles. Start from a coarse grid of large squares, each tinted coral by how much of the word it covers, so the word is only a blocky blur. Then, level by level in a left-to-right sweep, every square that the letter outlines cross pops into four smaller squares with a bouncy overshoot and a brief white flash until the word, set in a heavy black grotesque, stands sharp. Color the tiles fully inside the letters deep navy to cobalt, the tiny tiles the outline crosses tomato and orange so they form a fine rim, and the background a mix of cream, mustard, pale blue and blush blocks. A soft light sweeps across the letters; then the tiles fold back up.
