How do I apply a vertical standoff in my design?

[thominator (Thom Hogan)]

Okay, I’ve been playing around with trying to mimic the new Guardian design, but I’m stumped on one thing:

How do I do the vertical standoffs in that top row?

Apply a border on the left edge of the container or flex, that should do it

Does that work for you?
