+Density: Medium. Layouts are information-dense but well-spaced; generous border radii and soft shadows reduce visual weight.
 
-**Design philosophy**:
+Design philosophy:
 
-- Extends **Core** — light and dark color modes are available; `lxStudioTheme` defines explicit **light** overrides and inherits **Core dark** where not overridden
 - Larger border radii than Core give the UI a softer, more modern feel
-- Brand purple (`lxStudioPurple`) drives primary CTAs; `hyper-500` drives interface affordances (checkboxes, toggles)
+- Sapphire (`#1C50BB`) drives primary CTAs and interactive controls in light mode
 - Shadows are soft (navy-200) rather than hard (navy-800 in Core light mode)
-- Hanken Grotesk replaces Apercu and Suisse across all font roles
+- Skillsoft Text and Skillsoft Sans replace Apercu and Suisse across `base` and `accent`
+- Use semantic `background-primary` (`#FAFBFC`) — not Core `beige`
 
----
+### Themes
 
-## Themes
+LX Studio uses a single Gamut theme that extends Core. Light mode applies LX-specific semantic overrides (sapphire primary, softer borders, larger radii). Dark mode inherits Core dark semantics — use `<ColorMode>` and semantic tokens the same way as Codecademy.
 
-LX Studio uses **`lxStudioTheme`**, which spreads **`coreTheme`** and adds explicit **light** semantic overrides (see `packages/gamut-styles/src/themes/lxStudio.ts`). Dark mode resolves through the same Core color-mode system.
+| Theme     | Use case                               | Base font             | Dark mode      |
+| --------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------- | -------------- |
+| LX Studio | Skillsoft LX Studio authoring platform | Skillsoft Sans / Text | ✓ light + dark |
 
-| Theme         | Use case                               | Base font      | Dark mode                                               |
-| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
-| **LX Studio** | Skillsoft LX Studio authoring platform | Hanken Grotesk | yes (inherits Core dark; light overrides in theme file) |
-
-The active theme is set at the app root via `<GamutProvider theme={lxStudioTheme}>`.
+Set the active theme via `<GamutProvider theme={lxStudioTheme}>`. For new LX Studio apps, default to `lxStudioTheme` unless another theme is explicitly requested. Install in app repos: `gamut plugin install cursor --theme lxstudio` (copies to `./DESIGN.md`).
 
 ---
 
-## Semantic Color Aliases
+## Colors
+
+Use semantic token names in code and designs. They resolve per color mode automatically. Never hardcode hex values for adaptive UI. Never hardcode `beige` — LX maps `background-primary` to `lxStudioBgPrimary` (`#FAFBFC`).
 
-Use these token names when specifying colors. **`lxStudioTheme`** (`packages/gamut-styles/src/themes/lxStudio.ts`) extends **`coreTheme`**, so **light and dark** color modes behave like Codecademy: the theme file lists explicit **light** overrides, and **dark** uses **Core dark** semantics anywhere LX does not override them (`packages/gamut-styles/src/themes/core.ts`). Hex values in the tables below document **light mode** for designer handoff. The YAML `components:` block at the top of this file is an **illustrative recipe set** for handoff tools—use semantic system props in application code.
+For dark/light regions, use `<ColorMode>` or `<Background>` — never swap colors manually with custom CSS.

-**Key distinction**: `primary` (lxStudioPurple `#5628FE`) differs from `interface` (hyper-500 `#3A10E5`). Buttons and links use the lighter LX Studio purple; checkboxes, toggles, and sliders use the deeper hyper purple.

-Hanken Grotesk is served from `https://www.codecademy.com/gamut/` in four variants: regular, italic, bold, bold-italic.
+Skillsoft fonts are loaded via `GamutProvider` asset configuration (see `@codecademy/gamut-styles` remote font assets).
 
 ### Rules
 
-- **Hanken Grotesk Bold (700)** for headlines, sub-headlines, CTAs, and buttons.
-- **Hanken Grotesk 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.
+- Skillsoft Medium (500) for headlines, sub-headlines, CTAs, and buttons — not Bold (700).
+- Skillsoft 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`.
+- `accent` uses Skillsoft Sans; `base` uses Skillsoft Text — they are intentionally different families.

+
+### Gamut implementation guardrails
+
+Same rules as Codecademy (`DESIGN.Codecademy.md` Components section), with LX-specific notes:
+
+- Buttons: no generic `Button`; `IconButton` requires `tip`; never set `mode` on buttons; use `borderRadii.md` (8px) on buttons/inputs.
+- Forms: `GridForm` / `ConnectedForm` for submit flows.
+- Cards: valid variants `default`, `white`, `yellow`, `beige`, `navy`, `hyper`; defaults `shadow="none"`, `isInteractive={false}`.
+- DataTable / DataList: `sortable` requires `query`, `onQueryChange`, and client-sorted rows.
+- Menu: always explicit `variant` (`fixed` + `as="nav"` or `popover`).
+- Color mode: `<ColorMode>` / `<Background>` only.
+- Accessibility: WCAG, `FocusTrap` in modals/drawers.
+- Assets: `@codecademy/gamut-icons`, `gamut-illustrations`, `gamut-patterns`.
