02

Object

  • Name what the list is about: tools, mistakes, layouts, examples.
03

Reason to save

  • Add a small line that explains why it is useful later.

Type and size

Number

  • Use a heavy condensed sans at 110-160px on square covers, 900 weight, with tight line-height around 0.85.

List title

  • Use a bold grotesk sans at 36-52px, 850-950 weight, split into 2-3 short lines.

Layout rules

Cover split

  • Use the number as a left or top anchor taking 28-36% of the canvas, then place the title in the larger open area.

Spacing

  • Use 32-44px outer margin, 18-24px internal gaps, and one strong divider to separate number from promise.

Build notes

  • Best as 1:1 or 4:5 social covers for roundup posts.
  • Keep the number and object visible in the first two seconds of scanning.

Replaceable parts

Number + object formula

  • 5 resume modules
  • 7 coffee menu layouts
  • 10 portfolio section ideas

Variants

  • Use it as a carousel first slide.
  • Use it as a resources page section.

Usage notes

  • Specific numbers build trust.
  • A subtitle can name the target user.
  • Avoid stuffing too many badges.
