Glassmorphism — Design Dossier
Glassmorphism relies on background blur (`backdrop-filter: blur()`), subtle white border strokes that simulate optical refraction, and semi-transparent layers floating above vivid, swirling ambient light sources.
Design Theory
Originated by Michal Malewicz (2020) and mainstreamed by macOS Big Sur and iOS 7/14. Emphasizes optical physics where interface elements float as multi-layered frosted glass sheets above vibrant background color fields.

Trade-off Analysis
Key Advantages:
- High visual hierarchy through natural z-axis layering
- Striking, modern aesthetic that feels light and airy
Practical Limits:
- Can suffer from low text contrast if background is too busy or bright
- Can degrade GPU performance on older devices with multiple blur layers
Specs & Research
WCAG Accessibility:
Requires strict monitoring: Background opacity must remain high enough behind text to guarantee minimum 4.5:1 contrast against dynamic backgrounds. Fallback solid background required for high-contrast accessibility modes.
Performance Impact:
High GPU load when multiple nested blur filters are composited on mobile viewports.
