Gaming caption styles HUDs, pixels and stream energy.

Gaming and tech styles match stream and game footage. HUD frames the text with corner brackets and futuristic type, and Streamer gives each line a different color with the spoken word jumping. Level Up uses video game pixels with a color change every phrase, and Matrix decodes green code letter by letter. AI Tech suits tech explainers.
