Implementing Styles

Overview of next exercises

With your design system foundation complete (fonts, colors, spacing, typography), it’s time to apply these tools to create the actual Bosco theme appearance. The style book currently shows generic WordPress styling because you haven’t applied your design tokens yet.

The approach moves from generic to specific: start with base styles (default fonts, colors, spacing), then element styles (headings, links, buttons), then block-specific styling as needed.

This systematic approach ensures consistency while building toward the specific Bosco aesthetic. Each layer builds on the previous one, creating a cohesive design system rather than random styling decisions.

The goal is transforming the generic WordPress appearance into the distinctive Bosco design through proper application of your carefully crafted design tokens.
