    <i class="fa-light fa-fire"></i>
    <span>Button 1</span>
  </button>
  <button class="neumorphic">

</div>

2. Copy the CSS code into your stylesheet. This CSS is responsible for the neumorphic design, button styles, and hover effects. Ensure you have the necessary dependencies by adding the Font Awesome CSS library. Feel free to tweak the styles to match your project’s color scheme and design preferences. Adjust the font sizes, button dimensions, or shadows as needed.

button.neumorphic {

  border: 0.5rem solid transparent;

  box-shadow: var(--shadow);

    color: hsl(10 80% 50%);
    > i { font-size: 28cqi};
    > span { font-size: 13cqi};
  }

  >i {
    font-size: 31cqi;
  }
  > span {
    font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
    font-size: 16cqi;
  }
}

.cd__main {
  background-color: #e5e9f4 !important;
  padding: 2rem;
}
h1 {
  text-align: center;
  color: hsl(0 0% 10%);
  font-family: system-ui, sans-serif;
  font-size: 3rem;
  margin-bottom: 30px;
}
.buttons {
  display: grid;
  width: min(75rem, 100%);
  margin-inline: auto;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(min(8rem, 100%), 1fr));
