Principles
Tokens over specs: A token system is a better means of creating consistency and interoperability.
Content over graphics: Words are almost always preferable to picture and symbols.
Feedback over expertise: Get feedback quickly, and exercise expertise slowly.
Evidence over tradition: Compelling evidence and theory that fits the data should always change the system.
The build
Design tokens were used to keep all products and services looking and feeling the same while making development faster. Many of the components, patterns and templates have been built in React making them usage across the bank.
