Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
headline | Less, but better | string | Primary title displayed in the card. |
kicker | DESIGN PRINCIPLE | string | Small uppercase label displayed above the headline. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="titlecard-calm"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/titlecard-calm.html"
data-variable-values='{"headline":"Less, but better","kicker":"DESIGN PRINCIPLE"}'
></div>

<!--
titlecard-calm: HyperFrames video primitive (typography / calm / orient)
Concept: a restrained title card led by a small mono kicker and a large
grotesque headline. The kicker fades and rises first, then the headline
follows. Typography and negative space carry the frame.
Variables:
- headline (string, default "Less, but better"): the primary title.
- kicker (string, default "DESIGN PRINCIPLE"): the small uppercase label.
Envelope: fixed IN and OUT with an elastic HOLD only.
IN_BASE = 1.20s. Kicker arrives first, headline follows.
HOLD = max(0, D - IN - OUT). The lockup drifts barely upward.
OUT_BASE = 0.55s. The full lockup fades with a small rise.
If D is shorter than IN_BASE + OUT_BASE, IN and OUT compress together.
Longer mounts stretch HOLD only. The timeline is never time-scaled.
Mount contract: the runtime clones only this template. #root fills the
host box, establishes the container query basis, has no data-width or
data-height, and registers one paused timeline under the hardcoded
titlecard-calm id.
