Four guiding principles

Designed to be useful in the real world.

Each principle shapes both how the theme looks and how it behaves once real content, editors, and changing needs enter the picture.

01

Native first

Built for the Site Editor and core blocks, with no required page builder or custom-block plugin.

02

Opinionated, not rigid

A recognizable visual identity supported by global styles that remain easy to personalize.

03

Made for stories

Clear hierarchy, readable measure, and expressive patterns keep the focus on meaningful content.

04

Light on dependencies

Local fonts and a focused PHP layer provide a straightforward foundation you can understand and extend.
