Design Systems Glossary

Here you can find important tech terms and definitions, explained in a simple and clear way.

UI Kit (User Interface Kit)

A UI Kit (User Interface Kit) is a comprehensive, pre-designed collection of graphic files and resources—typically built in a tool like Figma—that contains all the structural UI elements needed to design a website or application. It includes standardized buttons, input fields, navigation bars, dropdown menus, checkboxes, typography scales, and color palettes.

Material Design

Material Design is a comprehensive, open-source design system and visual language created by Google. It relies on the metaphor of physical materials—specifically paper and ink—combined with the magic of digital technology. It dictates strict rules for layout grids, typography, color usage, animations, and the use of "Z-Index" (depth) to create realistic shadows that mimic how light behaves in the real world.

Global Styles

Global Styles are a centralized set of foundational CSS rules that dictate the default appearance of all standard HTML elements across an entire website. Instead of styling every single paragraph or button individually, developers define the rules for typography, color variables, spacing, and link behaviors in one master location.
