Bell Subscribe Button

A chunky outlined pill on a hard black shadow with a bell in a coloured disc: hover lifts it and rings the bell, pressing sinks it into its shadow, and clicking toggles subscribed, rolling the label and inverting the disc.

Written for the variant you picked above: Peach

Build a neo-brutalist subscribe toggle (React + CSS, no libraries): an off-white pill with a thick black outline sitting on a hard black shadow, with a bell inside a coloured disc at its right end. Structure: the <button> itself is the shadow (a black pill, translated 0.3em right and 0.4em down); inside it a face span carries everything and is translated back by the same amount, so the face can travel exactly into its shadow. Geometry in em, default font-size 20px: face height 4.4em, padding 0 0.7em 0 1.45em, 0.14em black outline, background #f1efe9, gap 2em between label and disc. Label "Subscribe" in Archivo at width 125 (font-stretch 125%, wdth 125), weight 700, 1.12em, letter-spacing 0.015em, black. It shares a clipped grid cell with "Subscribed": the off label slides up and out while the on label slides up into place (0.45s ease-out). Disc: 2.95em circle, 0.14em black outline, filled with the accent colour, holding a solid black bell (1.75em) rotated 38°, with a knob, a clapper and four short ringing arcs around it. Behaviour: hover lifts the face a little further from its shadow (1.25× and 1.2× the offset, springy) and rings the bell (rotate −16°, +14°, −9°, +5° about its top over 0.8s) while the arcs flicker. Press drops the face onto the shadow (translate 0) in 0.08s. Click toggles aria-pressed; when on, the disc fills black and the bell and arcs turn the accent colour. A polite live region announces "Subscribed…" or "Unsubscribed." only after a real toggle. Works controlled (subscribed + onChange) or uncontrolled (defaultSubscribed). Focus-visible draws a black outline offset 0.3em. Reduced motion removes the slides and the ring. Props: accent, subscribed, defaultSubscribed, onChange, labels {off, on}, size, plus native button props. Selected variant — Peach (peach): Disc #f4c1a8 on a periwinkle #7b6ff0 page. This selection takes precedence over references to other themes or options in the general brief. Implement this selected appearance; do not add a variant picker or alternative appearances unless requested. Implementation requirements: Use React and TypeScript. Keep the component self-contained, with uniquely scoped CSS and no animation libraries. Include required imports, styles and font setup in the result. Interaction: Hover lifts the pill and rings the bell; pressing sinks the face into its shadow; clicking toggles between Subscribe and Subscribed, inverting the disc. Keyboard: Space or Enter. Motion: Lift 0.22s with a springy overshoot; press 0.08s; label roll 0.45s; bell ring 0.8s; disc inversion 0.3s. Accessibility: A native toggle button with aria-pressed; only the current label is exposed (the other is aria-hidden). A polite status line announces the change after a real toggle. Black on off-white is above 15:1. Visible focus outline. Reduced motion removes the roll and the ring. Responsive behavior: Sized in em from one font-size; at 20px it is about 320px wide. Pass a smaller size for compact layouts. Touch: No hover on touch; the press still sinks the face into its shadow and the toggle works the same. Preserve keyboard access, visible focus and reduced-motion behavior. Keep fictional demo data and simulated service calls in a separate usage example; expose callbacks for real actions and recover from rejected requests. Keep usage-example links inside the demo: use local buttons or prevent navigation. Demonstration links must not navigate to Vitrine routes or open other pages; preserve real URL support in the reusable component itself. Verify the result at narrow and wide viewport sizes, with keyboard input and reduced motion enabled.
