features.bauhaus-shape-key · Shape key

A features pattern from Bauhaus, drawn alone below with this design's tokens and sample copy. Used in this design on: home page, section 3. Give the section root data-pattern="features.bauhaus-shape-key". A guide only: DESIGN.md and tokens.json are the source of truth.

Rule
A lowercase title at step 5, then features two per row across 1–12; each opens with one primary shape (cycle circle → square → triangle) beside its title (step 3) and text.
Slots
title, features[4..6]
Grid areas
title 1-6 · features 1-12 (12-column grid, 1-based inclusive spans)
Notes
Cycle the shape kind and fill per item: circle/accent, square/accent2, triangle/yellow, then repeat.
Tokens
bg #FDF9F4 · text #241E16 · heading #150E06 · accent #0050CC · accent2 #AF0029 · Jost / Jost · radius 0px · space unit 8px (full list in design/tokens.json)

Pattern notes

  • The section title (h2 at step 5, weight 700, lowercase) on 1–6. Below, four to six features in two columns. Each feature is a small 4-column grid: a solid 48 px shape in column 1, then title (step 3, lowercase) and a short paragraph across 2–4. Cycle the shapes in order circle (accent), square (accent2), triangle (yellow) — the shapes are the icons, so no other icons. At phone width features stack, each keeping its shape on the left.
