## The signature moment: tall oval portraits sit above a numbered caption baseline

Four 2:3 image frames use a fifty per cent border radius, producing true tall ovals rather than circles or rounded rectangles. Each oval floats above a ruled caption with its index, name and role. The crop is a native image-block setting, so it remains editable and travels with the pasted pattern without a stylesheet.

## What the buyer gets

Four tall oval portraits sit above numbered name-and-role captions, bringing a softer silhouette to a tightly measured team row. The section works without the companion plugin. Replace the example people, roles and copy directly in the block editor.

## What it inherits from your theme

The typeface, heading treatment and spacing scale belong to the host theme. Every colour uses a fallback chain. Text resolves to contrast on the page ground; no accent is used behind copy. Body copy targets 4.5:1 contrast; large display text has a 3:1 minimum. WordPress render checks measure the actual theme colours.

## Display type

Section headings use the x-large rung, names use large, and body copy uses medium, all with clamp fallbacks. Labels use a 0.875rem to 1rem clamp and 1.4 line height.

## Responsive composition

The portraits are grouped into two pairs. Both pairs share one desktop row; at narrower widths the pairs stack, keeping two portraits per row and avoiding an isolated fourth portrait. Each person’s photograph and name stay grouped.  Review the full section at 1920, 1280, 820 and 390 pixels in serif and sans themes.

## What you change first

Replace the portraits, names and roles. Duplicate a complete profile group to add a person, keeping text lengths reasonably similar. The oval is an image-block border radius of 50% on a 2:3 frame. Replace the photo to retain the crop; adjust the image border radius to change the silhouette.

## Included images

The portraits are generated examples and depict nobody real. Their public image URLs travel with the copied markup. Choose **Replace** to use your own people. Pasting a URL does not import a Media Library attachment. See [image credits](/image-credits/).
