Venmo — Design Score: 78/100 (grade B)
Strong typography & color hierarchy; spacing is cramped (0.64 density), killing whitespace and scannability. Fix breathing room and motion tokens to unlock usability.

Top fixes
- Increase spacing density to comfortable breathing room
- Migrate motion timings to CSS custom properties (tokenize)
- Enforce 4px grid adherence across all spacing
