The 8-point grid system is an industry standard that brings consistency and harmony to UI design. Every spacing, sizing, and layout value is a multiple of 8.

Why use the 8pt grid:
- Creates visual rhythm and consistency
- Aligns perfectly with most screen resolutions
- Simplifies design-to-development handoff
- Works well with common icon sizes (16, 24, 32, 48)

How to implement:
- Set spacing values: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 64px
- Size components in multiples of 8
- Use 4px for small adjustments (half-grid)
- Configure your design tool grid to 8px
