Responsive Tailwind Center-Aligned Quote Banner

A full-bleed keynote quote banner: display serif at clamp(40px,3vw+24px,76px), a gradient-clipped closing phrase, and a rule–name–rule attribution line built from a three-column grid. On phones the rules drop away with max-sm: and the attribution stacks, so the name never wraps into a two-line orphan between hairlines.

What changed in the port

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

  • place-content:center; justify-items:center on the stage collapsed into grid place-items-center on the section itself — one wrapper fewer.
  • clamp(28px, 2.2vw + 16px, 56px) became an arbitrary text-[…] value; Tailwind has no fluid type scale and shouldn't — this is a one-off display size.
  • UI upgrade from the CSS original: the quote moved from heavy sans to Instrument Serif at a larger display size, and the closing phrase is gradient-clipped so the line has a focal point.
  • UI upgrade: below sm the rule–name–rule line becomes a stacked name and role (max-sm:grid-cols-1) — the original squeezed a two-line name between shrinking hairlines. Muted copy raised from 0.68 to 0.78.

How this works

The attribution line is a grid trick. Two 1fr tracks flank an auto track; the hairlines are just h-px spans that stretch:

<figcaption class="grid grid-cols-[1fr_auto_1fr] items-center gap-4.5
  max-sm:grid-cols-1">
  <span class="h-px bg-linear-to-r from-transparent to-tbq04-ink/25 max-sm:hidden"></span>

Fluid type with a floor and ceiling. text-[clamp(40px,3vw+24px,76px)] grows linearly between phone and wide desktop; max-w-[20ch] caps the measure so a 76px line never exceeds ~6 words.

Gradient text on inline content needs box-decoration-clone, or each wrapped line gets a slice of one long gradient instead of its own.

Make it yours

  • Solid emphasis: drop the gradient classes on the <em> and use text-tbq04-acc italic.
  • Light banner: flip bg/ink tokens; the glow gradient reads well as a pale tint too.
  • Left-aligned variant: remove text-center and justify-items-center, and use a single left rule.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • text-transparent hides the text entirely if the gradient fails (e.g. a typo in a token) — test the fallback by temporarily removing bg-clip-text.
  • min-h-svh, not h-screen: a long quote on a short landscape phone must be able to grow.
  • Keep the kicker outside the <blockquote> — it's framing, not quoted text.
