When to use
Use for reports or document-based articles. Choose a media-left card for a photo-led story. Variations include a worksheet preview or a page-count label for a long guide.
Hierarchy
The document format and title lead before the short excerpt and author. Keep title below 7 words, excerpt below 9, metadata below 4 and author below 3.
Responsive
The preview and title remain side by side on mobile; the shared footer wraps as needed. The root expands at 640px.
Layout
The bordered white root is 288px w-72 wide with an 8px rounded-lg radius. A 72px preview column and flexible text column use 16px gaps and 20px p-5 padding. The root grows to 384px at 640px. The bordered preview has 8px inset and a 128px h-32 media region. A shared metadata/action footer spans both columns below a top rule.
States
Links underline on hover and show a 2px neutral-900 keyboard outline offset by 2px. The document placeholder is static and has a descriptive accessible name.
