I have a large room and sit ~18 away from my 60" TV. That combined with my middle aged eye sight makes it tough to read some the smaller text on many skins. Kudos on integrating larger fonts while still keeping it clean and sleek.
Credit for the overall design of the skin including font choice goes to BigNoid the creator of Aeon Nox 5

Sorry if if i was out of place for me to mention. But he gives you credit all the time.
I'm going to start by telling a story...
I, at the beginning of this mod, released it under a different thread name. "Nox 5 with Some Added Views" was the original title. This was the name for awhile and eventually I was asked several times to change the thread name for a few reasons like ease of finding it and so forth. I waited a long time to do that but I wanted to name the thread Aeon Nox 5: blah blah (that was TBD at the time), however I was not going to unless I asked permission from the creator if he had any issues whatsoever with that. If he did have issues with either the naming or the existence of the mod I would've taken it down immediately and not said a word as to why (which was the reason I waited so long to ask). The mentality behind this is because of my personal perspective of how I think things should be and I wanted to show him the respect he deserved.
That being said his skin and mine are distributed under a creative commons license that basically says you can do what you want with it as long as you give credit, do not use it commercially, and if you alter it you must distribute under the same license as the original. I technically did not have to ask his permission at all but I wanted to anyway because of the aforementioned reason. All of that was to hopefully show my point of view concerning my earlier statements.
Further more I looked at a little of the code for that skin mod and saw some of my updates from the Isengard version of my skin. Why couldn't his work to add that be provided to me in a pull request on GitHub or even here on the Kodi forums to help out the large majority of users of the Helix version of the skin? Why not also provide a themes pack here as well? I will gladly make a post on the first page of this thread for any mod. I had many reasons for not being happy with the situation regardless if credit was given or not. I do not have any animosity about this (life is too short) but I am not particularly thrilled about it either. I hope that long winded response put it into a perspective you might understand and I chose not to get in too deep with this earlier cause all of the above is really just the tip of the iceberg.
