Deep Fried is a single-column Tumblr theme with bold captions, optional photo effects and a scrolling ticker for your own text. It suits artists, humour writers, music fans, cultural commentators and creative collectives sharing mixed posts. Impact-style captions and clashing colours create a deliberately chaotic look, with over-saturated images and scattered stickers adding to the effect. Anton and Space Grotesk give the layout its bold, playful voice. You can switch the photo and caption effects on or off and customise the palette.

This custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web supports all Tumblr post types. It includes reblog trails and tags, plus search and pages. An ask box is available too. Choose Background and Text colours, then adjust Accent and Pop. Highlight has its own colour setting. Switch Deep Fry Photos and Meme Captions on or off. You can also toggle Scrolling Ticker and write your own Ticker Text.
