Usage
Picto items are a non-interactive content type used to emphasise key points within the context of a larger story. Picto items can consist of of a Pictogram, heading (Typography), body (Typography), and Link. They can be grouped together to form a list (ordered or unordered) or used on their own.
Do’s
Use Picto items to concisely highlight key points of a story or product benefit.
Use a Pictogram that is relevant to the point you are making.
Use Picto items for specific and relevant content to the page, not peripheral content.
Use a Link to direct users to additional relevant information.
Dont’s
Don’t be overly verbose with your headings and body copy
Use Picto items as a summary to linked content - Use a Product Card, Page Card, or Teaser instead.
