Component Anatomy

#LayerColourDataNotes
1Media (Letterbox)MediaMediaThe letterbox media defines the background container the block sits on; a scrim overlay keeps content legible.
2Trailing menuIconThe overflow () menu, top-right.
3Date & TimeText 1Date · TimeThe date/time line, led by an inline attendance-mode icon (In Person).
4Event TitleText 1TitleThe event title — the centralised focal line.
5Event SubtitleText 1Subtitle (optional)Supporting line beneath the title.
6LocationText 1Location (optional)The venue / location line.
7Listing DescriptionText 1Description (optional)The descriptive blurb.
8Call to actionAccentSecondary button (Find Out More) + arrow icon; interactive, so it wears Accent.
9SponsorSponsor (optional)The sponsor lockup, bottom-right.
Notes
  • Content is centralised in the container over the letterbox media — the banner distinction from a full-width FW Card, whose media is a discrete side-by-side element.
  • Optional slots (subtitle, location, description, sponsor) are visibility settings, not separate variants.
03

Spacing

Notes
  • Fixed height, anchored to the standard media containers; content block is centralised in the letterbox with a minimum inset from the container edge.
  • Detailed positions/gaps to be captured from the master; the fixed-height rhythm is the defining spacing rule.
04

Typography

Notes
  • Roles follow the WDS role grid, stepped up for the banner presentation: Title = Headline / lg, Date & Time = Callout / lg, Subtitle = Subhead / base, Location = Meta / base, Description = Body / base, Call to action = Button / base.
  • Metrics are owned by the Typography Role Registry; the page mirrors them.
