Shards is a modern design system based on Bootstrap 4 that comes packed with 10 extra custom components and two pre-built landing pages. It’s also lightweight with its stylesheet weighting only ~12kb minified and gzipped.
Colors
We've enhanced Bootstrap’s semantic color selection with brighter color variations in order to improve the contrast and accessibility.
Typography
Shards uses Poppins as its primary typeface for headings and the system’s UI font with a Roboto-first fallback (only on non-Apple devices) for the remaining content.
| Type | Example | Font | Font Size | Line Height |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heading 1 |
ABCabc |
Poppins Semibold | 3.052 REM | 3 REM |
| Heading 2 |
ABCabc |
Poppins Medium | 2.441 REM | 2.25 REM |
| Heading 3 |
ABCabc |
Poppins Medium | 1.953 REM | 2.25 REM |
| Paragraph |
ABCabc |
System UI / Roboto | 1 REM | 1.5 |
Icon Packs 🦄

Form Controls
All form controls are improved with micro-transitions and shadows that bring depth and improve the overall user experience.
Simple Forms
Using Icons
Form controls can be stylised by utilizing icons from either supported packs. They can be placed inside default or seamlessly integrated input group addons.

The default custom form fields are improved and extended. One of the new additions being the toggle switch control.
Checkboxes
Radio Buttons

Custom Dropdown

Validation
Form validation is also improved to match the new overall form feel, while following the same interaction principles for consistency.
Sliders
Sliders are also a new custom control and can be integrated almost anywhere with minimal markup (a single element) and extended customisation options via JavaScript.
Datepickers
Datepickers are also available and similar to slider controls they are very easy to create, being based on a single input element. Datepickers are customisable as well, letting you create complex configurations with range selections for example.
Cards
We wanted cards to stand out and bring depth without changing their original structure. All of this while allowing them to play well with the other components.
