### Design System Integration

#### Typography (Google Fonts)
- **Primary Font**: Inter (headings, UI elements)
- **Secondary Font**: Source Sans Pro (body text)
- **Accent Font**: Roboto Mono (code, technical content)

#### Design Token Usage
```scss
// Import design system tokens
@use 'ui-design-system/src/styles/tokens' as tokens;

.hero-section {
  padding: tokens.$spacing-section-large tokens.$spacing-container;
  background: tokens.$color-surface-primary;
  
  .hero-title {
    font-family: tokens.$font-family-heading;
    font-size: tokens.$font-size-display-large;
    color: tokens.$color-text-primary;
    margin-bottom: tokens.$spacing-content-medium;
  }
}
```

#### Spacing Hierarchy
- **Section Padding**: `$spacing-section-large` (96px), `$spacing-section-medium` (64px)
- **Content Spacing**: `$spacing-content-large` (48px), `$spacing-content-medium` (32px)
- **Element Spacing**: `$spacing-element-large` (24px), `$spacing-element-medium` (16px)
