+## Description
+
+I am using the [Grid sizing feature]({%slug grid-sizing%}) and my Grid is a Compact Grid. I want to reduce the size of all elements in the Grid. How can I:
+* Change the size of all icons in the Grid?
+* Set smaller font size to all elements in the Grid?
+
+## Solution
+
+1. Set the [Grid `Class` parameter]({%slug grid-overview%}#grid-parameters) to a custom CSS class. This allows you to target specific Grid instances.
+1. Use the defined class to [override the theme styles]({%slug themes-override%}) of the desired elements in the Grid.
