Liminal is a minimal single-column Tumblr theme with centred posts for images, writing and reflections. It suits personal bloggers, photographers, poets, artists and visual storytellers. A pastel sky surrounds the posts, with soft blur and a hazy glow creating a sense of empty-room stillness. Quicksand and VT323 pair rounded lettering with a nostalgic digital feel. You can adjust the sky, text and date-stamp colours, hide date stamps or use a still sky, and add your own Whisper text.

Built for Tumblr’s desktop web custom HTML themes, Liminal supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, as are search and pages. There is also an ask box. Choose Sky Top and Sky Bottom colours, then adjust Text and Date Stamp. Toggle Original Photos and Hide Date Stamp. You can also switch on Still Sky and add your own Whisper text.
