Global Design Tokens Free

WordBlocks includes a free Basic Styling layer that centralizes brand tokens for colors, typography, layout, and buttons. Configure once, then keep visual output consistent across blocks and pages.

Token groups in WordBlocks Basic Styling

Free plugin capability

WordBlocks stores global design settings in a single option key and derives defaults from block-theme theme.json when available, with fallback defaults for non-block-theme installs.

Group What it controls Examples
Palette and Colors Semantic brand colors used across blocks and UI controls. Primary, secondary, accent, background, text, plus normalized palette entries.
Typography Font family, responsive font-size scales, line-height, text transform, and weight settings. Body font, heading font, H1-H6 sizes (desktop/tablet/mobile), body and heading line-height.
Layout Global sizing and spacing values for reusable section composition. Content width, row gap, content gap, row padding, row margin.
Buttons Default button spacing, radius, borders, and color states. Padding X/Y, linked or per-corner radius, border width/color, hover colors, secondary button tokens.

How to use global tokens effectively

Set foundational token values first, then compose pages using those values so updates propagate consistently.

  • 01
    Set brand colors and fonts

    Define palette and typography once in Basic Styling before creating sections.

  • 02
    Build with token-aware defaults

    Use shared spacing and button values so content teams avoid one-off styles.

  • 03
    Evolve globally, not per page

    Update token values centrally to roll changes out across the site without manual block-by-block edits.
