The signature moment

Asymmetric bento balance

The layout provides rhythm and visual hierarchy through unequal area distribution. The primary marquee cell occupies 58% of the width, pairing a massive percentage numeral with a subhead and explanatory narrative. The remaining 42% is divided vertically into two secondary metric blocks, giving each finding its exact proportionate weight.

Overview

An asymmetric bento matrix: one expansive double-height marquee cell on the left detailing a primary productivity metric, flanked by two stacked secondary stat cells on the right, all framed in 1px currentColor borders.

The signature moment: asymmetric bento balance

The layout provides rhythm and visual hierarchy through unequal area distribution. The primary marquee cell occupies 58% of the width, pairing a massive percentage numeral with a subhead and explanatory narrative. The remaining 42% is divided vertically into two secondary metric blocks, giving each finding its exact proportionate weight.

Why this is not the other stats patterns

  • stat-quadrant is a symmetrical 2x2 grid with four equal quadrants.
  • stat-pillars uses three identical vertical columns.
  • stat-split pits narrative copy against a multi-row data ledger.
  • stat-matrix is an asymmetric bento grid with one double-height primary card and two stacked secondary cards.
Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first

The variations

  • Night matrix. The entire section inverts to your contrast ground with base text and currentColor card borders.
  • Matrix reversed. Mirrors the columns: two stacked cards on the left, marquee card on the right.

What you change first

  1. The marquee metric, subhead, and context paragraph.
  2. The two stacked secondary metrics and labels.
  3. The methodology footnote.
Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • Typeface. No font family is stated anywhere.
  • Palette. Ground and text resolve to base and contrast chains.
  • Spacing scale. Margin and padding presets derive from core tokens.

What it decides for itself

  • The asymmetric 58/42 bento grid proportions.
  • The internal card padding and vertical typography hierarchy.
  • The display typographic ramp.

Contrast

All text and figures are contrast on base (or base on contrast in Night matrix). Display figures meet 3:1 criteria; all labels and body copy meet 4.5:1.

Display type

Off the theme's ladder on purpose, because the size is the composition:

  • paragraph at clamp(3.5rem, 7vw, 5.5rem)
  • paragraph at clamp(2.25rem, 4.5vw, 3.25rem)
Technical notesBlock mechanics, responsive behaviour and constraints

Mechanics worth knowing

  • Contiguous 1px currentColor borders. Each card is independently outlined in currentColor with matching internal padding.
  • Vertical gap between stacked cards. Managed via margin-top on the lower card, matching the section column gap.
  • Constrained footnote. Keeps the research source citation cleanly formatted below the matrix.

Questions

Stat matrix: common questions

Does Stat matrix need a plugin?

No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.

Will Stat matrix match my theme?

Yes. It names no colour or font of its own: every colour, size and space is a preset from your theme, so it takes your theme’s palette and type when pasted.

How many variations does Stat matrix have?

3: Bento matrix, Matrix reversed and Night matrix. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.

Is Stat matrix free?

It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.

Which WordPress version does it need?

Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0 to 7.1. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.

The markup

11KB of core-block markup, 5 blocks (column, columns, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
