Properties

action

requiredref

Interactive element (button/link) color, by priority.

control

requiredref

surface

Non-interactive container (surface) color, by how far above the page the surface sits.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#surfacePriorities

CSS font-display descriptor (e.g. 'swap', 'fallback').

  • maxLength: 32

family

requiredstring

The font-family name as it should appear in CSS (e.g. 'Inter').

  • maxLength: 32

#surfacePriorities

object

The three Mise en Mode priorities for `surface`, counting down from the layer that claims most of a reader's attention to the one that claims least. Because priority counts down, the page is `auxiliary` and not `primary`: a page is what a modal interrupts.

Properties

auxiliary

requiredref

The page itself, and everything sitting on it rather than above it — cards, bars, panels. The layer a theme is mostly made of.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#colorIntent

primary

requiredref

A surface that interrupts the page: modal, dialog, alert, sheet.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#colorIntent

secondary

requiredref

A surface over the page, not instead of it: flyout, menu, popover.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#colorIntent

#textIntent

object

Typography metrics for a single text priority. Color is intentionally excluded (it belongs to the containing surface).

Properties

family

requiredstring

A CSS font-family value; should match a `family` in the theme's `fonts` array.

  • maxLength: 256

lineHeight

requiredstring

A valid CSS line-height value (e.g. '1.4').

  • maxLength: 128

size

requiredstring

A valid CSS <length-percentage> font size (e.g. '1.25rem').

  • maxLength: 128

weight

requiredstring

A valid CSS <font-weight> (e.g. '400', '600').

  • maxLength: 128

#textPriorities

object

The three Mise en Mode priorities for `text`, counting down from the text that claims most of a reader's attention to the text that claims least.

Properties

auxiliary

requiredref

Detail and help: captions, hints, legal.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#textIntent

primary

requiredref

Headlines and titles.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#textIntent

secondary

requiredref

Body copy — the text a page is mostly made of.

Reference
  • lex:place.mode.standard.defs#textIntent

#typographyAspect

The typography aspect of a theme: text (12 intents), complete when present.

Lexicons whose schemas describe something close to this one. Check them before publishing a new one that overlaps.

  • place.mode.standard.theme

    record

    A self-contained theme: a mapping of CSS values to Mise en Mode intent tokens, grouped by aspect. The record key is the expression the theme serves (e.g. 'dark', 'com.homedepot.easter', 'default').

  • net.wireservice.stylesheet

    record

    A publication-level stylesheet record providing default named layouts, styles, and text styles, plus typography and color palette defaults. Documents reference a stylesheet by AT URI to inherit its named entries. Document-level entries with the same name override the stylesheet's entry wholesale (including its conditional overrides).

  • family.pardy.design.theme

    record not from the namespace authority

    A general-purpose visual theme: colors, fonts and corner radii by semantic role. Public, so any app can publish and use it. Apps map roles to their own styling, ignore roles they don't know, and must validate values before using them.
