Layouts

We make use of our grid when determining our layouts. Our grid works like a base structure, simply add shapes on top to create various compositions. These examples are based on a snapped to grid rationale, we can further create layouts that are more organic and free-floating as well.

Text

We set our text in high contrast. Black text on white background, and vice versa. Subheads are set in gray, We use tones carefully to ensure all text is readable and accessible.

Primary and secondary text in black and white. The primary text is labeled primary, while the secondary text is labeled secondary.
