Ideal for ui/ux, dashboards, portfólios, web design limpo, branding de produtos apple. AI-ready template. The bento grid didn't emerge from some design system committee. It came from Japanese lunch boxes — compartmentalized, purposeful, every section earning its space. Apple's marketing pages around 2020-2022 made the pattern unavoidable: asymmetric cards of varying heights and widths, each one a self-contained story. Suddenly every SaaS landing page wanted that same energy. What makes bento work where traditional grids feel rigid is the deliberate breaking of uniformity. A 2×2 card sits next to a 1×1. A tall vertical piece anchors the left while three small squares stack on the right. The asymmetry isn't random — it's editorial hierarchy expressed through spatial proportion. The bigger the card, the bigger the idea. The pattern matured quickly. Early implementations were just CSS Grid with span tricks. The good ones today treat each cell as a micro-composition — its own typographic hierarchy, its own breathing room, its own moment. The grid is the scaffolding, not the design. - Density: 8/10 — Dense - Variance: 2/10 — Structured - Motion: 4/10 — Subtle - **Style:** Modular, Organized, Compartmentalized, Apple-Inspired - **Keywords:** Bento grid, bento box, modular, organized, compartments, Apple-style, clean, dedicated spaces, dashboard, tidy - **Era:** 2020s Apple Design Language - **Light/Dark:** ✓ Full / ✓ Full ## Colors - **Pure White** (#FFFFFF) — Light surface, card backgrounds - **Light Grey** (#F5F5F7) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements - **Dark Grey** (#1D1D1F) — Dark surface, primary background - **Accent Blue** (#0071E3) — Primary accent, CTAs and interactive elements - **Soft Grey** (#E8E8ED) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements - **Medium Grey** (#86868B) — Secondary text, borders, muted elements - **Black** (#000000) — Deep contrast surface - **Accent Green** (#34C759) — Primary accent, CTAs and interactive elements ## Typography - **Display / Hero:** SF Pro — Weight 700, tight tracking, used for headline impact - **Body:** SF Pro — Weight 400, 16px/1.6 line-height, max 72ch per line - **UI Labels / Captions:** SF Pro — 0.875rem, weight 500, slight letter-spacing - **Monospace:** JetBrains Mono — Used for code, metadata, and technical values Scale: - Hero: clamp(2.5rem, 5vw, 4rem) - H1: 2.25rem - H2: 1.5rem - Body: 1rem / 1.6 - Small: 0.875rem ## Layout - **Grid:** CSS Grid primary.
