Soft-light sheen
The one currently built — a diagonal band in soft-light that sweeps with the tilt. Included for comparison.




Matte
No highlight at all. A faint inner edge and a grounded shadow do the work. Uncoated stock.




Satin edge
Light catches only the top and left rim, not the face. Suggests a soft coating without a sweep.




Spot gloss on the numeral
Sheen masked to the upper-left corner, as if only the number is spot-varnished.




Linen texture
A woven micro-texture over the art. Reads as textured card stock rather than anything glossy.




Warm ambient
No sweep — a soft directional wash, warm at the top, cool at the base. Light in a room.




Foil edge
A thin metallic gradient on the border only, like a foil-stamped rim. Face stays matte.




Emboss
Inner shadow top-left, inner light bottom-right. The card looks slightly pressed.




Glare on hover only
Dead flat at rest. A single quick glare crosses once on hover, then settles.




Paper grain
Fine noise plus a barely-there vignette. The least digital of the set.




Brushed
Fine directional streaks running with the tilt. Anisotropic, like a brushed coating rather than a mirror.




Pearlescent
A slow hue shift across the face — cool one way, warm the other. Iridescent, not shiny.




Soft-touch
Heavier corner radius, a velvety inner shade and no highlight at all. Reads as a laminated soft-touch finish.




Gloss on the question
Varnish confined to the lower band where the question sits, so the copy is the thing that catches light.




Edge-lit
A bright thin rim on all four sides, like light entering the edge of an acrylic tile. Face stays flat.
