Design System Tokens

Design token management following the W3C Design Token Community Group (DTCG) specification. Tokens provide a single source of truth for design decisions — colors, spacing, typography, elevation — shared between design tools (Figma, Penpot) and code (CSS, Tailwind, iOS, Android). Major adopters include Figma (Variables API), Google (Material Design 3), Microsoft (Fluent UI), and Shopify (Polaris).
