bento

Structure a modular grid UI by arranging content into bento-style blocks that vary in size while maintaining visual rhythm and balance. This approach organizes dashboards and scannable layouts using clear hierarchy and consistent spacing.

Bento grid layouts require token-driven styling using a defined typography scale, specific spacing units like 4/8/12/16/24/32, rounded corners, and a cohesive color palette to maintain visual consistency across all UI sections.

Meet WCAG 2.2 AA keyboard interaction requirements by enforcing explicit keyboard-first interaction rules and visible focus states within your card-based UI. This ensures testable accessibility acceptance criteria for all modular content blocks.

The bento design system approach applies directly to component authoring and implementation workflows. It provides practical do/don't patterns and quality gates so engineers can ship predictable, reviewable UI sections with organized hierarchy.

Bento design guidance uses a default token set including Inter and JetBrains Mono typography, but the token-driven styling framework allows you to substitute your own defined typography scale and cohesive color palette while maintaining the modular grid structure.

Avoid using a bento grid layout when your content lacks clear modular boundaries or requires strict linear scrolling rather than scannable, hierarchy-driven sections. The bento approach prioritizes visual rhythm and organized dashboards over continuous text flows.
