Block Elements

• Plan content in distinct blocks to create a logical reading flow and improve scannability.
• Combine related string blocks with consistent spacing and alignment for visual rhythm.
• Choose semantic block types that match your content, then apply consistent typography and colors.
• Use separators or borders sparingly to distinguish blocks without overwhelming the layout.
• Test responsiveness by reordering or stacking blocks for different viewports and devices.

Block Elements organize content into modular sections that users recognize. They are useful for separating topics, actions, or groups of related UI controls. When designed with predictable spacing and typography, blocks help users skim and absorb information quickly.

In practice, designers commonly pair block elements with underlying grids and alignment guides. Authors should keep blocks focused on a single idea and avoid clutter inside each block. Historically, block elements emerged from the need to present content in structured, repeatable units that render consistently across devices. They provide a foundation for accessible, keyboard-friendly layouts when built with proper semantics and contrast.
