The Radio Card is a form element (radio input) with a bigger target area represented by a card container that allows users to select a single item from a list of related options.
Usage
Use the Radio Card Group in most cases. Use individual Radio Cards only in special cases and sparingly.
When to use
- To allow users to select a single option from a group of two or more Radio Cards.
When not to use
Control position
In most cases, we recommend using the bottom position. Still, we offer Radio Cards in a left position, which is a good option when the content in the cards is minimal.

Legend style
Default style

Display style
When using the Radio Card Group as its own section, we recommend using Display/400/Bold
for the legend.
Error validation
