Masonry
A layout where items are arranged in columns of equal width but variable height, each item stacking directly below the shortest column — like brickwork.
Example usage
“The image gallery uses a masonry layout so portrait and landscape photos coexist without cropping.”
Editor’s note
Masonry works well for content with unpredictable aspect ratios. It breaks down for content that needs to be scanned in order — use a grid instead.
