UsageCopy link to this section
Copy link to this section
Dividers are a subtle way to separate content into groups, sections, options, or parts. Many times, negative space will accomplish the same goal, so use them sparingly, as excessive use might overwhelm a user.
Separating related content
Apply dividers between collections of content to delineate groups of content and create the appearance of containers.
Illustration of vertical divider usage.
To break up dense content
Make layouts cleaner and more readable by using dividers to create a visual hierarchy.
Illustration of horizontal divider usage.
To separate elements in a layout
Full-bleed dividers are useful for outlining sections or lists, particularly on XS (extra small) or S (small) grids. In this case, horizontal dividers were used to separate stacks of content.

There are two types of dividers: vertical and horizontal. The primary divider is a 4-pixel border, and the secondary is 1-pixel border. Primary or secondary weights can be used with either vertical or horizontal dividers. Use the secondary for most use cases, and the primary to provide more emphasis to the division.

Specifications
Apply dividers to the right or left of an element. To help with placement, use the grid gutters to align dividers and space content. For M (medium) to 2XL (2 extra large) grids, use one to two dividers. For S (small) to XS (extra small) grids, exchange vertical dividers for horizontal dividers to allow for stacking.
Illustration of applying vertical dividers to organize two columns of text. In this example, a margin of 16 pixels is applied to each text box to match the gutter size of an L-Default screen. This allows for equal spacing on each side of the divider.
Illustration of applying a horizontal divider to separate elements in a XS or S grid. In this example, a margin of 16 pixels is applied to a primary divider. This allows for equal spacing on each side of the divider.
