Custom-styled scrollable area using native functionality.
Three fundamental aspects of typography are legibility, readability, and aesthetics. Although in a non-technical sense “legible” and “readable” are often used synonymously, typographically they are separate but related concepts.
Legibility describes how easily individual characters can be distinguished from one another. It is described by Walter Tracy as “the quality of being decipherable and recognisable”. For instance, if a “b” and an “h”, or a “3” and an “8”, are difficult to distinguish at small sizes, this is a problem of legibility.
Typographers are concerned with legibility insofar as it is their job to select the correct font to use. Brush Script is an example of a font containing many characters that might be difficult to distinguish. The selection of cases influences the legibility of typography because using only uppercase letters (all-caps) reduces legibility.

This component inherits props from the ScrollArea primitive Root and Viewport parts. It supports common margin props.
| Prop | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|
asChild | boolean | No default value |
size | Responsive<"1" | "2" | "3"> | "1" |
radius | "none" | "small" | "medium" | "large" | "full" | No default value |
scrollbars | "vertical" | "horizontal" | "both" | "both" |
Use the size prop to control the size of the scrollbar handles.
