Use grids to create consistent column based layouts
Grids have 12 columns with gutters in between and margins to either side

Usage

Use grid offsets to constrain page elements to the central 8 or 10 columns at tablet and desktop breakpoints. This prevents full width objects from becoming too wide.

Don't use the grid to divide and define layout within individual elements in a page design. For example, don't use the the grid to divide a card into 12 equal sections. The Element grid is designed to be used to define a page layout.
