Gallery 18 block design & features
The block centers a Swiper carousel configured with the cards effect inside a container. The slider is fixed at 260 by 340 pixels, and each slide shows a portrait image with rounded-3xl corners and cover-fit scaling. Below each active card, a monospaced name caption is absolutely positioned outside the card boundary. The carousel loops continuously with a one-second autoplay delay and supports grab-cursor drag navigation.
Custom CSS sets the slide border radius to 25px and ensures the active slide allows visible overflow so the caption can extend below the card edge. The stacked-deck card effect fans the slides behind the active one with rotation and depth, creating the appearance of a physical card stack.
The overall feel is minimal and portrait-focused, using the card-stack motion as the sole decorative element. The monospace font and small type size for the name caption add a quiet editorial detail without competing with the imagery.
