Base element styles control native HTML elements such as headings, paragraphs, buttons, and forms in a systematic and opinionated way. These styles include typographical considerations and utilities derived from base elements, such as typefaces, the type scale, forms, and buttons.
Base type elements are normalized to a simple type scale that works well across devices.
<h1>Hamburger 1</h1>
<h2>Hamburger 2</h2>
<h3>Hamburger 3</h3>
<h4>Hamburger 4</h4>
<h5>Hamburger 5</h5>
<h6>Hamburger 6</h6>
Use the .h1
– .h6
font-size utilities to override an element’s default size.
Pork Chop 1
Pork Chop 2
Pork Chop 3
Pork Chop 4
Pork Chop 5
Pork Chop 6
<p class="h1">Pork Chop 1</p>
<p class="h2">Pork Chop 2</p>
<p class="h3">Pork Chop 3</p>
<p class="h4">Pork Chop 4</p>
<p class="h5">Pork Chop 5</p>
<p class="h6">Pork Chop 6</p>
Forms use base styles for their structure with color styles applied to adjust the look and feel. This creates a rhythmic consitency among all forms while allowing thematic differences where needed. Form elements do not rely on nested styles or markup structure, so utility styles can be used for contextual adjustments.
By default, form elements display inline.
Use the default .input
style or create custom color styles to control the appearance.
<form>
<label class="">Search</label>
<input type="text" class="input">
<button class="button-blue">Go</button>
</form>
Use .block
and other utilities to stack form elements.
The use of utilities allows for a lot of flexibility when building form layouts.
<form class="sm-col-6">
<label>Email Address</label>
<input type="text" class="block full-width input">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" class="block full-width input">
<label>Select</label>
<select class="block full-width input">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
<option>Option 4</option>
<option>Option 5</option>
</select>
<label class="block full-width mb2">
<input type="checkbox" checked>
Remember me
</label>
<button class="button-blue">Sign In</button>
</form>
Default table structural styles are defined in base
.
Use the default table-light
color style with other color utilities
or create custom theme extensions to suit your needs.
