The Aalto University Design System is the university's unified framework for building consistent digital sites and services, a Figma library and Storybook component set built on design tokens that scale up through components, sections, and full page templates.
It's strongest in showing how a large institution (not a product company) structures a system for many independent teams, and it documents WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility and green-coding considerations alongside the usual visual guidelines.
Designers studying how a university or large public institution organizes a multi-team design system, or looking for a token-first structure to reference for a similar-scale project.
It's built for Aalto's own branding and isn't meant as a generic starter kit, so treat it as a structural reference rather than something to fork directly.
