Component Anatomy

#LayerColourDataNotes
1Date Block tilePrimary BrandDateLeft tile carrying the day numeral over the month; Sky (Primary Brand) fill, mode-agnostic. Day = Display / lg, Month = Headline / sm.
2Attendance chipSurfaceAttendance modeThe IN PERSON chip beneath the tile; label = Label / Section, with the attendance icon.
3Speaker StripText 1Speakers (optional)A row of speaker avatars closed by a +N counter, beneath the description.
Notes
  • The banner slot model, media rule and content schema are inherited from Essentials; this variant adds the Date Block presentation. Date and attendance move into the tile — the date/time line above is retained.
  • The current artboard also carries a Speaker Strip; flagged for confirmation (whether it belongs to + Date Block or a separate + Speakers variant).
  • The Date Block reuses the shared Date Block element — the same tile as the Cards groups.

Spacing

Notes
  • Spacing is standard as per Essentials; the Date Block tile occupies the left inset, the content column centralised beside it.
04

Typography

Notes
  • Type is standard as per Essentials, plus the Date Block roles: Day = Display / lg, Month = Headline / sm, Attendance = Label / Section.
  • Metrics are owned by the Typography Role Registry; the page mirrors them.
