Pattern notes

When to use
Use for a compact interview excerpt with explicit author identity. Choose a centered quote for a statement without a source action. Variations include a publication role or a date in the rail.
Hierarchy
Read the author alongside a 16px statement; the source action follows. Keep quote below 18 words, name below 3 and role below 2.
Responsive
Both columns remain on mobile. The quote wraps in the flexible column and the short attribution prevents excessive card height.
Layout
The bordered white root is 288px w-72 wide with an 8px rounded-lg radius. A 72px attribution rail and flexible quote column use a 20px gap and 20px padding. At 640px the root expands to 384px. The rail has a right rule, 16px padding-right, 40px avatar and stacked 12px author text. The interview link sits 20px below the quote.
States
Links underline on hover and show a 2px neutral-900 keyboard outline offset by 2px.
