# Button — Design system

A button is an interactive element that triggers an action when clicked or tapped. It clearly communicates its clickability through visual styling and provides feedback on user interaction, making it a fundamental component for enabling user actions in interfaces.

## Items

### Base style
Your default style, one of the following: fill, outline, underline

### Shape
Visual properties of a button: padding, border, border radius, shadow

### Variants
Each visual type to represent button structure e.g. primary and secondary buttons

### Copy

_Tip: Users should understand what will happen before clicking a button. Buttons can have generic copy such as 'Okay' or 'Cancel', but only if there is context around that action, in the title or as a label for example._

### States
