When to use
Use for a deliberate pair of related articles. Choose a featured-with-list section for a broader editorial selection. Variations include two viewpoints or beginner and advanced reading.
Hierarchy
The shared heading frames two equal article links. Keep header below 7 words, titles below 4, notes below 7 and categories below 2.
Responsive
The articles stack on mobile and become two columns from 640px. Compact summaries keep the mobile pair below 384px.
Layout
The bordered white root is 288px w-72 wide with an 8px rounded-lg radius. The p-5 article has a shared header and a two-part grid 20px below with 20px gaps. Each part has a top rule, 16px top padding, category, title, one-line note and time. At 640px the root grows to 384px and the grid becomes two columns.
States
Links underline on hover and show a 2px neutral-900 keyboard outline offset by 2px.
