When to Use
Use for editorial showcases, theme selectors, or any interface where a curated visual selection needs to feel intentional. The serif italic labels add a refined, magazine-like character.
Best Practices
Use images with strong focal points that read well at portrait aspect ratio. Keep labels short — 1-2 words maximum for the italic serif overlay.
Why This Component Matters
The centered focus pattern with counter (06/12) communicates curation and depth, implying a rich catalog behind the visible selection.
FAQ
QHow are the 3 cards positioned?
Three items render simultaneously — active at center with scale 1.0, adjacent cards at scale 0.80 and ±224px x-offset, using Framer Motion spring transitions.
QCan I click side cards to navigate?
Yes — clicking either side card advances in that direction.
QHow do I change the label font?
The label uses font-family Georgia (serif) with italic style. Pass a custom fontFamily inline or override the style in your own wrapper.
