Collect related content or tasks within a container.

Cards exist to group repeatable content and display it in a modular, easy-to-read way.

Cases

While all cards are displayed in a familiar format, the content within them changes the purpose of each.

Basic: The majority of our cards are basic. It can collect and display a variety of content and most likely won’t include any visuals.

Elements

Every card consists of a body, but can also include a header, footer and sometimes media content.

The only thing that matters is that you outwork every single person.

Body: Use for just about any and all content imaginable.

Usage

Content

Content shows up in different ways when grouped into cards. Some require headers, some will only need footers and some might need both. When collectively displayed, they each should remain consistent and use the right card type.

Actions

Cards may vary in size depending on the purpose and content. Actions should only ever be present in the footer. Reserve these for the three most important.

card-actions-do

Selection

In some cases cards may be selectable. If it makes sense to include selection, use our select mark in the upper left corner.

Microcopy

Titles

Titles should be concise and briefly explain the content. Write them in title case, but don’t worry about punctuation for these.

Date and Time

Cards are nearly synonymous with time as they’re most often displayed in feeds. Follow our date and time guidelines.

Case & Punctuation

Like most things, cards follow our non-label text guidelines and use appropriate punctuation and sentence case.
