Government of Canada (GC) Design System Styles
This "Styles" section introduces design tokens that encode brand and design decisions for basic style elements like colors, typography, and spacing, ensuring consistency across Government of Canada digital services.
Design tokens in the GC Design System serve as the foundational elements, capturing brand and design decisions in code for basic style aspects such as colors, typography, and spacing.
These tokens facilitate a consistent visual experience by scaling design and brand decisions across components, ensuring predictable and trustworthy interactions for users. They also enhance communication between design and development teams by defining each style decision with a specific name and visual representation. The system categorizes tokens into color tokens, which store color values for styling components; spacing tokens, which help position elements onscreen and within components; and typography tokens, which encompass the style, arrangement, and appearance of letters, numbers, and symbols.
