Classic typography
Palatino and Helvetica Neue, two highly readable, well tested font choices.
Carefully measured spacing
All element layout is structured according to master designer Tim Brown's modular scale to maximize fluidity and rhythm.
Responsive layout
Turn that Tumblr default mobile theme off - The Writer is optimized out of the box for smartphones, tablets and other smaller browsers.
HTML5 based
Developed with the HTML5 doctype and elements, using the HTML5 Boilerplate based bare tumblr as a starting point. Fully validated according to w3.org HTML5 specifications.
CSS3 enhancements
Subtle animations, gradients, transparent backgrounds and shadows for modern browsers. Graceful degradation for legacy users.
Fancybox support
The Writer isn't just for writing; photo posts look great out of the box with Fancybox, a popular, well supported lightbox plugin.
Browser friendly
Tested and compatible with IE7+, Safari, Chrome and Firefox.
