Staggered menu
A compact navigation panel reveals its items in a short cascade.

DKC reference implementation; not an original creator video. You can play, pause, and inspect time in the reference.
Make it fit your project.
Open an accessible navigation disclosure. Reveal items using opacity and a 10px vertical translation, with 35ms between items and a total sequence under 350ms. Reverse the group as one unit on close; restore focus to the trigger.
