A bookplate masthead and library serif typography give Ex Libris its dark academia feel on Tumblr’s desktop web. Latin numerals sit in the margins. Forest green and ivory pair with oxblood and gilt for the feel of a well-kept volume, ready for your writing.

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.
