D esign tokens

Design tokens provide a simple way to apply a standardised visual language, and make it easy to implement changes in the future.

Typography

Good typography maintains a clear hierarchy of information and structures content to help users understand and navigate it.

Colour

Consistent use of colour across B.C. government services helps maintain a coherent visual identity.

Layout and spacing

Proper spacing and proportion of UI components is important for usability.

Iconography

The design system uses a standardised set of open-source icons.

Create accessible web products
