Design Foundations

Explore the foundational atomic components of our trauma-informed design system. Each card below links to a detailed demo or documentation for that atomic category.

Design Tokens

Reusable values that style components: Typography, Color, and Layout.

Aa

Typography

Font families, sizes, weights, and line heights for accessible, trauma-informed text hierarchy.

Form Elements
