Guidelines Overview

Style Guide / Guidelines Components

contain specific implementation guidelines, visual references, and design principles for creating interfaces or other design deliverables. The most-common style guides tend to focus on branding (colors, typography, trademarks, logos, and print media), but style guides also offer guidance on content (such as tone of voice and language recommendations) and visual- and interaction-design standards (also known as front-end style guides). These guidelines are sometimes incorporated into the component library as well, to provide relevant guidance in context.
