Size
There are four menu option sizes: extra small, small, medium, and large. The height of a menu is determined by a menu button. Menus have a fixed minimum width of 160px (or 10rem), to ensure menu items have sufficient horizontal space, while also having a fixed maximum width of 288px (or 18rem).
| Elements | Size | Height (px/rem) |

| Menu option | Extra small (xs) | 24 / 1.5 |
