## Visual Theme & Atmosphere
@@ -138,23 +139,22 @@
**Density**: Medium. Layouts are information-dense but well-spaced; generous border radii and soft shadows reduce visual weight.
**Design philosophy**:
-- Light mode only — no dark mode support
-- Larger border radii than Core give the UI a softer, more modern feel
-- Brand purple (`lxStudioPurple`) via `primary` drives CTAs, buttons, links, checkboxes, and toggles
-- Shadows are soft (navy-200) rather than hard (navy-800 in Core light mode)
-- Hanken Grotesk replaces Apercu and Suisse across all font roles
+- Larger border radii (`sm`–`lg`) for a softer, more modern feel
+- Brand blue (`sapphire` / `primary`) drives CTAs, buttons, and links
+- Soft shadows (`shadow-primary` → `navy-200`)
+- Skillsoft Text (`base`) and Skillsoft Sans (`accent`) for all UI typography

## Themes
LX Studio uses a single Gamut theme — light mode only.

-- **Hanken Grotesk Bold (700)** for headlines, sub-headlines, CTAs, and buttons.
-- **Hanken Grotesk Regular (400)** for body text, UI labels, and menu items.
+- **Skillsoft Text Medium (500)** for headlines, sub-headlines, CTAs, and buttons — use `fontWeight="title"`, not literal `700`.
+- **Skillsoft Text Regular (400)** for body text, UI labels, and menu items.
- Text is **left-aligned** by default. Center-align only for short marketing headlines. Never right-align.
- Do not adjust letter-spacing.
-- No separate accent typeface — Hanken Grotesk is used uniformly for `base` and `accent`.
+- Skillsoft Sans is the accent face; Skillsoft Text is used for `base` and title styles.

-- `Checkbox` / `Toggle` use `hyper-500` (`#3A10E5`) — not the brand purple
-- All interactive elements have `borderRadius: md` (8px) instead of Core's 4px
-- `Card` shadows use navy-200 (soft) rather than navy-800 (hard)
-- No `Card-beige` variant — LX Studio `background-primary` is off-white, not beige
+- `FillButton` — `bg: primary` (`sapphire`), `hover: primary-hover` (`navy-800`)
+- `Checkbox` / `Toggle` — `primary`, `hover: primary-hover` (same as `FillButton`)

+- `Card` — `shadow-primary` (`navy-200`); elevated surfaces use `background-primary` (`lxStudioBgPrimary`), not beige

## Do's and Don'ts
### Colors
- **Do** use semantic color aliases (`primary`, `text`, `background`, etc.) — never hardcode hex values.
-- **Do** use `lxStudioPurple` (`#5628FE`) via `primary` for buttons and links.
+- **Do** use `primary` (resolves to palette `sapphire`) for buttons and links.
- **Don't** attempt dark mode — LX Studio is light only.
-- **Don't** use the Percipio or Codecademy primary blue/hyper colors directly; go through semantic aliases.
+- **Don't** use raw palette swatches for adaptive UI — use semantic aliases.
### Typography
-- **Do** use Hanken Grotesk Bold (700) for headlines, CTAs, and buttons.
+- **Do** use `fontWeight="title"` (500) for headlines, CTAs, and buttons.
- **Do** keep body text at 150–175% line height for readability.
-- **Don't** use Apercu or Suisse — those fonts are not available in LX Studio.
+- **Don't** use fonts outside the LX Studio theme stack (Skillsoft Text, Skillsoft Sans).
- **Don't** right-align or center-align body paragraphs.
- **Don't** adjust letter-spacing.
