1. Soft ReliefDefault
Reference: soft-relief
Soft Elevation + Hairline Flat + Soft Inset in one: a near-canvas surface with a crisp 1px hairline, a soft two-layer shadow below and a faint light edge above (the neumorphic touch, kept subtle so it stays readable). Hover tints the hairline in the theme colour and lifts the shadow slightly. 16px corners.

2. Frosted GlassOptional
Reference: frosted-glass
A modern glassmorphism: strong blur over a soft colour field, bright inner edge, gentle shadow. Keeps the brand’s glass identity but reads as a clear layer.
