Implementation notes

About the Cassette CSS button

Cassette uses nostalgic visual cues paired with modern interaction states. Its rounded corners balance product-friendly softness with a clear boundary. It combines a two-layer shadow and a 2px border. The interaction stays intentionally restrained.

Usage

<button class="btn-cassette">PLAY ▸</button>

Pair it with the CSS tab above — the class is self-contained.

Before shipping: keep the semantic button element, verify contrast on your actual background and add a visible:focus-visible state. If you retain motion, include a prefers-reduced-motion override.

Built with: HTML + plain CSS
