Spacing

A well thought out layout goes a long way. Consistent use of a spacing makes it easier for your users to scan the user interface and grasp the content.

Gap

Gap is the measurement between 2 separate elements. Use these common spacers whenever possible. In instances where another set spacing is required, be sure to follow the 8-point system.

spacing / gap / xl (56)
spacing / gap / lg (40)
spacing / gap / md (24)
spacing / gap / sm (16)
spacing / gap / xs (12)
spacing / gap / micro (8)
spacing / gap / nano (4)
spacing / gap / none (0)

Padding
