Testimonial cover quote

A full-bleed core/cover given over to one sentence from one client. The quotation is set at display size across the whole photograph, under a heavy veil of your theme's contrast colour, and the name and role sit apart from it on a small plate in the lower right corner.

Most testimonials put a photograph beside the words. Here the words are the picture: the quotation runs from 40px to 128px at 1.04 line-height and fills the cover's measure edge to edge, so the photograph shows only between and around the letters. The attribution does not sit centred under it; it is a small, dense plate pinned to the corner, the quiet end of a scale collision.

• Paper veil: the veil is base at 80% and the quote contrast; the plate inverts to a contrast ground with base text.
• Plate left: the quote hangs from the right on a 66rem measure and the plate moves to the lower left corner, so the words and the name pull against each other across the photograph.

Inherits: every colour (veil and plate contrast and base, the plate via role-plate and role-plate-text where our theme tool defines them), the typeface, the spacing scale. Decides: the veil's opacity, the display size, the 44rem minimum height (rem, never vh), the 1400px measure, and the plate's corner. The cover states its own text colour so core's white default never applies.

The quotation is display type, deliberately off the theme's ladder: a bare clamp(2.5rem, 6.6vw, 8rem), because its size IS the composition. It is a paragraph, not a heading, so the page outline stays yours. The name takes medium (chain then clamp); the role states its own clamp() with a 15px floor. The typeface is always your theme's.

A cover's veil is the one knowable ground over an image: contrast at dimRatio 80 under base type, measured against a white and a black photograph, the worse of the two has to pass (large display type, 3:1; the plate text, 4.5:1 against the plate itself). Lower the veil below 80 and that stops being true. The plate is a base ground with contrast text, judged on the plate, not on the photograph.

The quotation, then the name and role, then the photograph (select the cover and choose Replace). Keep the quote under about fifteen words: at 390 it runs to six or seven lines, and that is the ceiling.

A full-bleed cover fills the preview edge to edge, and on a buyer's page it is never alone. So the pattern ships with a short row on your theme's paper under it, a tracked label and one paragraph at a 34rem measure, identical in every variation. It shows where the cover ends and is the first thing a buyer rewrites or deletes.
