Void Chapel is a custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web, with a single column that gives text a clear place. It suits writers, artists, historians, music bloggers and cultural communities sharing imagery and collected references alongside their writing. Styled as a gothic reliquary, it pairs a blackletter title with oxblood on black for a quiet, dark setting. Ornament dividers sit alongside candlelit images. You can customise the colours, toggle candle and initial details, and add your own Invocation text.

The single column suits text and supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, along with search and pages. Readers can also use an ask box. Choose Background and Bone colours, then Oxblood and Candle. Set the Snuff Candles and Plain Initials switches. You can also toggle Original Photos and add your own Invocation text.
