A high-contrast design system enforces strict color tokens, keyboard-first semantics, visible focus-visible states, 44px+ touch targets, and reduced-motion support to meet WCAG 2.2 AA. It provides testable acceptance criteria for accessible interactive UI components like buttons and inputs.

Maintaining visual hierarchy in an expressive UI requires explicit interaction states across default, hover, focus, active, disabled, loading, and error phases. Using semantic design tokens over raw values preserves spacing rhythm and consistency across buttons, inputs, and cards.

Enforcing accessibility quality gates in an artistic component library involves setting testable acceptance criteria for keyboard navigation, adequate touch target sizing, and reduced-motion support. It ensures all interactive surfaces meet WCAG 2.2 AA expectations through visible focus states.

Yes, using a fixed typography scale like 12/14/16/18/24/30/36 with specified fonts such as Limelight and JetBrains Mono keeps high-contrast interfaces accessible. It establishes clear visual hierarchy and readable text sizing across the design system.

Yes, you need semantic color tokens to build accessible interactive surfaces effectively. Semantic tokens for primary, success, warning, danger, surface, and text states ensure consistent contrast ratios and predictable behavior across all UI components.

The limitation of using bold, expressive visual styles is the risk of failing WCAG 2.2 AA if contrast and focus states are not managed correctly. It requires strict token thresholds and reduced-motion support to prevent accessibility barriers in component states.
