Glassmorphism

Frosted translucency, blur, and layered depth.

What it is

Glassmorphism uses background blur and semi-transparent panels to float content in translucent layers. It creates depth and focus, popularised by iOS and Windows.

When to use

Overlays, cards, and hero areas over rich imagery where a sense of depth and lightness helps.

When not to

Text-heavy or low-end contexts — blur is costly to render and can hurt legibility.
