Cards
Cards are used to group similar concepts and tasks together to make information easier to scan, read, and act on. Cards should use a heading that sets clear expectations about the card’s purpose, paragraphs that put the most critical information first, and (optionally) calls to action on the bottom to direct user action.
The base card styling applies a border and padding to the card.
Cards can be any size and it’s ok to increase the body text size for larger cards.
<div class="s-card">
<h2 class="fs-body3 lh-sm fc-dark">…</h2>
<p class="fs-body1 fc-medium">…</p>
<button class="s-btn s-btn__primary s-btn__sm">…</button>
</div>

Applying a .bs-*
class adds a box shadow to a card. Useful when giving users the impression they can interact with the card.
<div class="s-card bs-sm">…</div>
<div class="s-card bs-md">…</div>
<div class="s-card bs-lg">…</div>
Small box shadow
This adds a small box shadow.
Medium box shadow
This adds medium box shadow.
Large box shadow
This is the largest box shadow.
The .s-card
class can be applied to an <a>
tag for instances where a whole card should link somewhere. If possible, linked cards should visually indication that they’re interactive (ex. including an .s-btn
or .s-link
somewhere).
A :hover
style for border color is automatically added to all linked cards. For linked cards with a box shadow (.bs-*
), adding a .h:bs-*
class will apply a hover style to the box shadow as well. Increasing the .bs-
size by a factor of one is usually best.
<a href="…" class="s-card">
<h2 class="fs-body3 lh-sm fc-dark">…</h2>
<p class="fs-body1 fc-medium">…</p>
<p class="fs-body1 s-link">…</p>

<a href="…" class="s-card bs-sm h:bs-md">
