A plate impression pressed into cotton paper, shadowed on its top edge and caught by light on the bottom. Hover and the press sinks deeper, then the ink rule and the type darken a beat later.

Also known as: letterpress css effect, debossed border css, pressed paper card, inset shadow frame hover.

Customizing this snippet

  • Color: set --bdr-color on the element or a parent. Currently previewing #3b82f6.
  • Base size: set --bdr-size. Every other dimension is in em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.
  • Speed: change the duration on the transition or animation shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
  • Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
