Stanza is a minimal single-column Tumblr theme that keeps text central, with centred verse and generous line spacing. It suits poets, lyricists, essayists, writing groups and independent publishers sharing short texts and reflections. Spectral type gives the words a writerly setting, and a deep ink background supports the quiet layout. You can customise the background, text, accent and muted colours, switch to a light page, hide poem numbers and add an epigraph. All Tumblr post types are supported alongside reblog trails and tags.
Built as a custom HTML theme for Tumblr’s desktop web, Stanza supports all Tumblr post types. Reblog trails and tags are included, as are search and pages. There is also an ask box. Choose Background and Text colours, then Accent and Muted. Toggle Light Page or Hide Poem Numbers. You can also switch Original Photos on or off and add an Epigraph.
