# Letterpress business card

> A cotton business card with debossed inked letters: a raking light follows the cursor and shifts the shadows of the relief.

## Where to use it

Letterpress is printing you can feel, with letters pressed into thick cotton stock. This card fakes the relief with paired text shadows driven by two registered custom properties, so the highlight and shadow sides move with the light. When idle the light circles slowly; on hover it follows the pointer. A blind monogram and a copy email button complete it.

The main color is the ink, the second the paper. Change name, role and contact lines, and keep the uppercase serif heading short so the deboss stays crisp.

````text
I want to add the “Letterpress business card” block (Cards) from AIMRAN Library to my project.

## What it is
A cotton business card with debossed inked letters: a raking light follows the cursor and shifts the shadows of the relief.

## Chosen settings
- Main color: #1f3a5f
- Secondary color: #f2ede2
- Size: 16px (from 12 to 24px)
- Speed: 1x (from 0.5 to 2x)
- Text: "Alba Rivas"

## What I need
1. Add it to my project with the same look and animation as the reference code: same sizes, colours, radii, shadows, timings and easing.
2. It is built with plain HTML and CSS (the reference wraps it in a React component with its CSS). If my project uses something else (Vue, Svelte, Astro, plain HTML…), translate it without losing any behaviour. If I use Tailwind, turn the styles into classes; if not, keep the CSS in its own file.
3. Expose the settings above as props (or CSS variables) with those values as defaults.
4. Make it work well on phones: nothing that depends only on hover, touch targets of at least 44 px and no overflow on 320 px screens.
5. Make it look right in light and dark mode.
6. Keep it accessible: semantic HTML, roles and aria-* where needed, visible focus and keyboard support.
7. Respect prefers-reduced-motion: with reduced motion, no big animations but the same end result.
