Weekend in Lisbon
Three days of tiles, tarts and trams.
The title rests on a soft scrim at the bottom of the photo, and on hover the whole caption rises to make room for a second line while the accent bar stretches. Good for blog and news covers.
Also known as: caption slide up on hover, image title hover reveal, blog cover hover.

Currently previewing #3b82f6.--hfx-size. Every other dimension is in
em, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing 16px.transition or animation
shorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm.
