About this Theme
Minimal Blog is for writers who believe that the reading experience is the product. Every spacing decision, every typographic choice, every interaction has been made to keep the reader’s attention on the words — not the interface.
Who is it for? Independent writers, consultants, and thought leaders who publish long-form content and want their site to feel like a quality publication rather than a generic blog.
Typography that earns trust. The theme ships with a carefully tuned type scale — a classic serif for article bodies, a geometric sans for headings and UI. Line lengths are capped at the optimal 65–75 characters. Code snippets use a monospaced font that pairs cleanly without disrupting the reading flow.
Newsletter-first growth. The signup form works with Mailchimp, ConvertKit, and any service that accepts a simple POST — no JavaScript SDK, no tracking pixels. Drop in your form action URL and you’re live.
After purchase you receive the theme source, a sample _posts collection with formatting examples, and a guide to connecting your newsletter provider. Three months of email support included.
