Hero198: Ink Flow Hero

A paper-toned full-height hero with an InkFlow Canvas 2D flow field drawing and fading ink strokes behind it, a soft gradient keeping the left side quiet for an eyebrow, a large serif headline, an intro and an underline arrow link that rise in on mount.

This installs the block to components/beste/block/hero198.tsx plus the ink-flow background and the button2 link it uses.

Quick start

The installed file exports hero198Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working hero in one line.

import { Hero198, hero198Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/hero198";

export default function Page() {
  return <Hero198 {...hero198Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

import { Hero198 } from "@/components/beste/block/hero198";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Hero198
      eyebrow="Paper, ink and patience"
      heading="A quiet hand, a line that keeps moving."
      description="An atelier for handmade paper and brush lettering."
      button={{ label: "Visit the atelier", href: "https://beste.co" }}
      ink={{
        inkColor: "var(--foreground)",
        paperColor: "var(--background)",
        density: 0.5,
        gather: "right",
        brush: 0.5,
      }}
    />
  );
}

Props

type ActionButton = {
  label: string;
  href: string;
};

Behavior notes

• The section is at least 640px tall and otherwise fills the viewport minus 78px for the navbar. Text sits at the bottom left through mt-auto.
• InkFlow fills the section as absolute inset-0. A gradient from bg-background to transparent covers the full width on phones and the left 60% from md, so the strokes never fight the text.
• With the demo's gather: "right", the ink collects on the side away from the text; "left", "center" and "none" move or spread it. Heavier strokes gather around the cursor unless interactive is off.
• Ink and paper colors take CSS colors, theme tokens included, so the demo's var(--foreground) and var(--background) follow light and dark mode.
• Text rises in on mount with slow, staggered delays from 0.1s to 1s. With reduced motion the text appears in place and the ink holds a still drawing.
• Every prop is optional; missing text parts are skipped without leaving gaps.
