Spacing
| Position | Applies to | Above | Below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Top | Top Slot, to the top edge | 12 sm | 8 xs |
| Between | Top Slot → Primary → Secondary | 8 xs | 8 xs |
| Bottom | Secondary (terminal slot), to the bottom edge | 8 xs | S 16 md · M / L 24 xl |
Notes
- Interior gaps match the Essentials model: top 12 sm, between 8 xs.
- Secondary is the terminal slot, so the bottom edge steps with size, from md 16 at Small to xl 24 at Medium and Large.
- The Date Block sits in the left column at the compact card height.
