Typography

Tag text should be set in sentence case, and should only have one word. However, if more than one is necessary, then connect the words using a hyphen with no spaces.

Structure

All tags have the same height. However, the width of tags varies based on the amount of content. All four corners of a tag are rounded with a 24px radius.
