Nightshade is a Tumblr theme with grid and single-column layouts for writing, imagery and collected references. It suits storytellers, artists, folklore writers, cultural bloggers and collectors. Tarot-style cards and roman numerals sit beneath a moon-phase header, giving the design a mystic feel. Midnight plum and candle gold frame the posts, while Cinzel Decorative and Cinzel pair with Spectral for the typography. You can customise the colours, hide the moon phases, display original photos and add your own Reading text.
