Swiss Jekyll Theme
A bold, typographic Jekyll theme inspired by International Swiss Style design. Strong grid, oversized headings, and a clean black-and-white palette that puts typography first.
About this Theme
Swiss is a love letter to the International Typographic Style — the design movement behind some of the most influential graphic design of the 20th century. Diana Mounter (GitHub’s Head of Design at the time) brought that aesthetic to Jekyll: strong grid, oversized Helvetica-inspired headings, and a restrained black-and-white palette that lets typography do all the work.
The result is a theme that feels confidently editorial. Nothing is decorative; everything is intentional.
Who is it for? Designers, writers, and developers who appreciate typographic rigour and want a site that looks like it was designed, not just assembled.
