Ex Libris is a single-column Tumblr theme for text posts, with a bookplate masthead and library serif typography. It suits essayists, historians, critics, researchers and independent publishers sharing writing and collected references. Built for Tumblr’s desktop web, it has a dark academia feel, with Latin numerals in the margins. Forest green and ivory pair with oxblood and gilt to suggest a well-kept volume. You can set a Bookplate Motto, adjust the colours and switch off marginalia or drop caps.
The single-column layout suits text and supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, as are search and pages. Readers can also use an ask box. Customise Library Green and Ivory, then adjust Oxblood and Gilt. Set a Bookplate Motto and use the Original Photos switch to adjust images. No Marginalia and No Drop Caps offer further control over the presentation.
