Thick Lines used for impact are always visibly dominant, their weight should lead our eye to a heading or section.
Size guide The pt size will depend on the size of your application, but the Thick Line is increased in 12pt increments. For use in small formats when 12pt becomes overwhelming and restrictive 6pt can be used.
Thin Lines should be just that – thin. They are a secondary level used to organise our main body of content – be that text or iconography and help give a technical feel.
Size guide Most commonly used at 1pt. this may be optically adjusted to best suit a particular application.
Thick and Thin Line Length can be adjusted freely to best fit the content.
Remember Formula 1 is a brand of extremes, there should always be a contrast between thick and thin lines. Use them to your advantage to contstruct a visual hierachy.
