  12. find dnb-typo-number remove it
  13. find dnb-typo-std remove it

New DNB font

We have now our very own DNB font. As this font behaves very differently than Fedra Sans, the DNB UX has specified how we will use the DNB font on digital medium. Therefore font-family, font-size, font-weight and line-height properties have changed.

In normal circumstances, you have to do nothing regarding to this change.

Font's and typography are handled out of the box

Adjustments

Other changes

  • major change Input got sizes. The height medium is now 2.5rem and large is now 2.5rem

Other features

  • FormLabel got a new property sr_only. This way you still can provide a label, but available only for screen readers.
  • Blockquote is now up to date dnb-blockquote--no-background to display a quote without the contrast background, but rather a transparent.
  • New helper class: dnb-responsive-component Makes some component form components, like Input react to mobile sized screens. But as this can have some negative effects to have this enabled by default, you can enable this optionally by using this helper class.
  • New helper class: dnb-sr-only--inline for using in inline text contexts, to make a better NVDA user experience.
  • New Table style / icons on sorting buttons. Icon change: from chevron to arrow.
