Design Tokens

Paste is using tokens as part of the design system. Tokens allow us to have a consistent yet agnostic naming convention completely devoid from the actual face value. Replacing the need to set hardcoded values (like hex codes, font sizes, or border thickness) affords us the opportunity to develop a scalable and consistent visual language that can be used across different platforms and Business Units (BUs). This allows design and engineering to work synchronously and efficiently.
