Tailwind Brutalist Glitch Button

Neo-brutalist slab with a hard offset shadow that snaps flat when pressed, and a hover glitch built from two duplicate labels sliced by clip-path and pushed apart in cyan and magenta. Steps-based timing keeps it digital — no easing, no blur, no JavaScript.

What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Utilities: the slab, the hard shadow, the flush press, both ghost layers with their clip slices and colours, and the hover/focus animation triggers. CSS: the two glitch keyframes and the graph-paper stage.
  • before:content-[attr(data-label)] is the port's neatest trick — attr() survives inside an arbitrary content utility, so the duplicate-label technique needs no extra markup and no repeated string.
  • The @theme block is split in two so the --animate-* entries can follow their @keyframes. Order does not matter to the compiler, but reading the keyframe before the token that names it does matter to a human.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: the ghost colours were #22d3ee and #f43f5e — fine as decoration, but they flash directly over the label during the glitch and both sat near 2:1 against the yellow hover fill, making the word briefly unreadable. The port darkens them to ≈4.6:1 and ≈5.1:1, so every frame of the glitch is still legible.

How this works

The glitch layers are pseudo-elements reading a data attribute:

<button data-label="Enter the archive"
  class="before:content-[attr(data-label)] before:absolute before:inset-0
         before:text-tb16-ghost-1 before:[clip-path:inset(0_0_55%_0)]
         hover:before:animate-tb16-a focus-visible:before:animate-tb16-a">

The content is generated, so it never enters the accessibility tree — the real label is the button's own text, and the coloured ghosts are decoration by construction.

The press is the brutalist signature. --offset drives both the shadow distance and the press travel; they must match, or the flush-press illusion breaks. As utilities that constraint is at least visible on one line.

Both animations fire on focus-visible: as well as hover, matching the CSS original's :is(:hover,:focus-visible) — and the whole effect is hidden under motion-reduce:, because a stuttering label is a genuine photosensitivity risk.

Make it yours

  • shadow-[6px_6px_...] and active:translate-*-1.5 are the same 6px. Change both together.
  • Brand pair instead of cyan/magenta: edit --color-tb16-ghost-1/2.
  • ease-[steps(1,end)] for a harsher two-frame stutter; steps(4) for a busier one.
  • Delete the glitch entirely — the slab, border and shadow are a complete brutalist button on their own.
  • Uppercase monospace is doing real work here; keep tracking-[0.1em] or it collapses.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • Glitch animation is a photosensitivity risk. Hover-only, short, and fully disabled under motion-reduce: — never on loop by default.
  • content-[attr(data-label)] is invisible to assistive tech, which is correct: the pseudo-layers are decoration.
  • Brutalist palettes are high-contrast by accident, not design. Verify the label against the hover fill — this one hits 4.5:1 on yellow.
  • clip-path on a pseudo-element clips anything drawn on it, including an outline. Keep the ring on the button.
