Design tokens

Reusable values for things like color, spacing, and font sizes

Overview

Tokens are the basic values used by the design system to represent color, spacing, font sizes, and other visual styles.

Design tokens can be referenced to create interfaces that appear similar to Rivet on platforms where the design system itself cannot be loaded, such as HTML email or third-party software.

Avoid purely aesthetic customizations

Rivet utilities should be used to fine-tune page layouts or create interface elements the built-in components don't cover. Utilities should not be used to make changes that are purely aesthetic in nature. For more information, visit the Extending Rivet page.
