How establishing tokenized CSS variables, typography scales, and micro-animations bridges the gap between Figma design prototypes and pixel-perfect web code.

Design debt occurs when code implementation deviates from approved design mockups. Creating systematic design tokens for spacing, HSL color palettes, and fluid typography ensures 100% fidelity between design and engineering.

1. Tokenizing Design Variables

By mapping Figma Variables directly to CSS custom properties (`:root { --color-primary: #00C2C2; }`), engineering teams eliminate magic hex codes and establish theme-wide consistency across light and dark modes.
