# Hover preview — effect catalogue
Temporary page. The **base** below is what's currently live on the publications page: red title + red blinking cursor + animated glyph. Everything beneath adds **one extra effect** on top of that base so you can see what each one does in isolation.

## 1 · Card lift
Whole card translates up 3px on hover — the "original" effect you already rejected. Shown for contrast.

## 2 · Border-left strip
A 2px red strip fades in on the left edge of the card on hover. Runs the full card height.

## 3 · Spotlight (sibling dim)
When you hover one card in the group, the others fade to 35% opacity. Focuses attention without moving anything. Needs a group of cards to see.

## 4 · Letter-spacing open
Title letter-spacing expands from 0.04em → 0.12em on hover — the word literally breathes open.

## 6 · Background wash
Card background fades to a very slight teal tint on hover. Subtle "this block is active" cue.

## 7 · Icon scale + glow
The icon grows by 12% and gets a teal drop-shadow on hover — this was the "glow" effect on the homepage nav items that you also rejected. Shown for contrast.

## 8 · Brackets (instead of caret)
`[ TITLE ]` — red monospace brackets flank the title on hover. Replaces the blinking caret with a static bracket treatment.

Tell me which (if any) to add to the live publications page. They can stack — e.g. "border-left + spotlight" is fine. Or "none of these, the base is good".
