Cubic Bézier

Token typePartial$type: cubicBezier2026-07-27

An easing curve, expressed as the two control points of a cubic Bézier.


Value format

{ "$type": "cubicBezier", "$value": [0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1] }

The array is [P1x, P1y, P2x, P2y].

Constraint
LengthExactly 4 entries
P1x, P2xMust be between 0 and 1 — a curve cannot move backwards in time
P1y, P2yUnbounded, so overshoot and anticipation curves are valid

Individual entries may be references, e.g. [0.25, "{ease.y1}", 0.25, 1].


What you can type

All three of these produce the same value:

0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1
cubic-bezier(0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1)
[0.25, 0.1, 0.25, 1]

Applying to Figma

Not applicable

Figma’s easing curves live on prototype interactions, not on layers, so there is no apply target for a cubic Bézier token.


What does work

Authoring, validation, references, export, and sync — plus use as the timingFunction slot of a transition token.
