Implementation notes

About the Seventies CSS button

Seventies uses nostalgic visual cues paired with modern interaction states. Its pill silhouette makes the label easy to scan in compact layouts. Its structure comes from a 3px border. The interaction stays intentionally restrained.

Usage

<button class="btn-seventies">Groovy</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
Shape: Pill
Exports: CSS, Tailwind, React
