Section head

Use section headlines to structure the page content.

This allows you to structure sections or separate them more clearly from each other.


Recommendation#

  • Avoid too long or multiline text.
  • Only a two-line text is allowed as a maximum variant.

Overall styling#

  • Text style is always section head and centered.
  • The line-height is set to default.
  • Text color is gray-darker.
  • The lines/dividers color is gray-lighter and has a 2px thickness.
  • The width of the left and right line depends on the text length and are scaled completely identically over all stylings.

Spacing & measurements#

What can be modified?#

  • Adjust the width according to the artboard size.
  • Modify the width of text but please stick to the spacing given in the documentation.
  • Modify section heads to your project needs by changing the colors of the text and the lines (i.e. to basic-white if you want to use the section head on a dark background).

Our workflow in Sketch#

  • Unfortunately, the symbol must be detached first to add demo content to a section head.
  • Simply adjust the lines/dividers to the distance defined for the text box.
