Type Theme
A free, open-source theme for Jekyll focused purely on typography and reading. Minimal design, fast load times, and a beautifully simple blog layout for writers who mean business.
About this Theme
Type Theme is built on a single conviction: typography is everything. Rohan Chandra stripped away everything that wasn’t essential to reading and writing, leaving a theme that loads fast, renders beautifully, and gets out of the author’s way.
The Google Fonts integration gives it more typographic flexibility than most minimal themes, and the clean header with social links strikes a good balance between personality and restraint. It’s also the base for the popular Type on Strap fork, which extends it with additional features.
Who is it for? Writers and bloggers who want a typography-focused, distraction-free reading experience and a theme that’s fast, simple, and easy to customise.
