Atomic Design: Quarks

Master the creation and organization of quarks - the sub-atomic design tokens and primitive values that form the foundation of your design system. Quarks are the smallest building blocks that atoms consume.

What Are Quarks?

Quarks extend Brad Frost's Atomic Design methodology by adding a level below atoms. While atoms are the smallest UI components, quarks are the smallest design values - the raw materials from which atoms are built.

Quarks are:

  • Primitive Values: Colors, spacing units, font sizes, shadows
  • Non-Visual: They don't render anything on their own
  • Design Tokens: Named constants that define your design language
  • Consumed by Atoms: Atoms import and use quarks for styling
