Design tokens are the DNA of your design system. They establish a single source of truth for every visual decision including color, typography, spacing, radius, shadow, and more. A few examples: 🎨 Color → color-bg-brand 🔠 Typography → text-heading 📏 Spacing → space-4 🔵 Radius → radius-md 🌑 Shadow → shadow-xs With Figma Variables, token to code mapping is seamless. Update a value once in Figma → sync to code → the entire product updates automatically. No manual overrides No inconsistencies No design drift Design tokens remove guesswork and enforce consistency across teams, platforms, and releases. Before you build components, build a solid token architecture. 👉 What’s the hardest part about setting up your tokens?
