# Cloudflare Design
Apply these rules when designing, implementing, or reviewing Cloudflare product interfaces. Follow recommended examples and avoid patterns marked as examples to avoid.
## Rules
### `content-text-size` Use 14px for content text
All content text—body, buttons, data, other interactables—must be 14px in size. 16px and above are restricted to headings and subheadings.
**Good**
```tsx
<Text>Content text</Text>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<Text size="lg">Content text</Text>
```
### `heading-case` Always sentence case headings
Never capitalize or uppercase headings. Product names must be title-cased.
**Good**
```tsx
<Text as="h2">Recent requests</Text>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<Text as="h2">Recent Requests</Text>
```
```tsx
<Text as="h2" DANGEROUS_className="uppercase">
Recent requests
</Text>
```
### `font-tracking` Never change the font's tracking
Do not use the `tracking-*` classes to change the spacing between characters.
**Good**
```tsx
<span className="text-lg">Worker Metrics</span>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<span className="text-lg tracking-tight">Worker Metrics</span>
```
### `font-weight` Never use `font-bold`
Use `font-semibold` for headings and `font-medium` for bold inline text.
**Good**
```tsx
<Text as="h3" variant="heading3">Account settings</Text>
<Text as="strong" bold>required</Text>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<Text as="h3" DANGEROUS_className="font-bold">Account settings</Text>
<Text as="strong" DANGEROUS_className="font-bold">required</Text>
```
### `related-text-spacing` Put related text closer together
Related text should have smaller spacing around it than the content it belongs to.
**Good**
```tsx
<div className="grid gap-6">
<div className="grid gap-1.5">
<Text as="h3">Web Analytics</Text>
<Text>Measure site traffic without changing your code.</Text>
</div>
<Button>Configure</Button>
</div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<div className="grid gap-4">
<Text as="h3">Web Analytics</Text>
<Text>Measure site traffic without changing your code.</Text>
<Button>Configure</Button>
</div>
```
### `text-spacing` Optically align spacing around text
Spacing around text should take into account its line height. Typically this means vertical spacing should be slightly smaller than horizontal.
**Good**
```tsx
<LayerCard className="px-5 py-4">...</LayerCard>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<LayerCard className="p-5">...</LayerCard>
```
### `hover-color-transitions` Never transition colors for hover states
Color changes on hover must be immediate. Transitions on fast interactions make the UI feel sluggish.
**Good**
```tsx
<button className="hover:bg-kumo-tint">...</button>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<button className="transition-colors duration-300 hover:bg-kumo-tint">
...
</button>
```
### `shadow-borders` Never use borders with drop shadows
Use `ring ring-kumo-line` to create a transparent border that maintains sharp edges.
**Good**
```tsx
<LayerCard className="shadow-md ring ring-kumo-line">...</LayerCard>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<LayerCard className="border border-kumo-line shadow-md">...</LayerCard>
```
### `concentric-border-radius` Use concentric border radii
When borders or rings are 8px or less apart, their corner radii must be mathematically concentric: outer radius = inner radius + padding.
**Good**
```tsx
<div className="rounded-xl p-1">
<div className="rounded-lg">...</div>
</div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<div className="rounded-xl p-1">
<div className="rounded-xl">...</div>
</div>
```
### `icon-alignment` Align icons with the first line of text
Inline icons must be optically the same size as and be center-aligned with text. Use `h-lh flex items-center` for multi-line alignment.
**Good**
```tsx
<div className="flex items-start gap-2">
<span className="h-lh flex items-center">
<Icon />
</span>
<Text>Text that may wrap onto multiple lines</Text>
</div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<div className="flex items-start gap-2">
<span className="flex items-center">
<Icon />
</span>
<Text>Text that may wrap onto multiple lines</Text>
</div>
```
```tsx
<div className="flex items-center gap-2">
<Icon />
<Text>Text that may wrap onto multiple lines</Text>
</div>
```
### `inline-monospace-size` Reduce the font size of inline monospaced text
Monospaced text should have a slightly smaller font size (~0.9em) when mixed with regular text.
**Good**
```tsx
<Text size="lg">
Edit <span className="font-mono text-[0.9em]">wrangler.toml</span> to
continue.
</Text>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<Text size="lg">
Edit <span className="font-mono">wrangler.toml</span> to continue.
</Text>
```
### `sticky-borders` Use `border` to separate sticky elements from the content
**Good**
```tsx
<div className="sticky top-0 border-b border-kumo-line">...</div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<div className="sticky top-0">...</div>
```
### `collapse-content-size` Maintain content size during collapse animations
Collapsible content must maintain its content size while closing to avoid its content shifting during animations.
**Good**
```tsx
<motion.div animate={{ width: open ? 256 : 0 }}>
<div className="w-64">...</div>
</motion.div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<motion.div animate={{ width: open ? 256 : 0 }}>
<div className="w-full min-w-0">...</div>
</motion.div>
```
### `layer-card-nesting` Never stack `LayerCard` on top of one another
**Good**
```tsx
<div>
<Text as="h3">Recent requests</Text>
<LayerCard>...</LayerCard>
</div>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
<LayerCard>
<Text as="h3">Recent requests</Text>
<LayerCard>...</LayerCard>
</LayerCard>
```
### `dialog-rendering` Never conditionally render dialogs
Conditionally rendering dialogs disables their open/close animation. Use the `open` prop to determine if a dialog should be visible or not.
**Good**
```tsx
<Dialog.Root open={open} onOpenChange={setOpen}>
<Dialog>
<Dialog.Title>Edit Worker</Dialog.Title>
<Dialog.Description>Update this Worker's settings.</Dialog.Description>
</Dialog>
</Dialog.Root>
```
**Avoid**
```tsx
{
open && (
<Dialog.Root open>
<Dialog>
<Dialog.Title>Edit Worker</Dialog.Title>
</Dialog>
</Dialog.Root>
);
}
```
