Viewfinder is a Tumblr gallery theme with large images, film-frame numbering and quiet captions. It suits artists, designers, makers, collectors and visual storytellers presenting image collections and projects. Jost and Source Serif 4 combine simple lettering with serif detail within the gallery layout. Grid View offers another way to arrange posts, while Dark Room provides a separate palette. You can customise both sets of colours, toggle Film Grade and set a Roll Label to name your collection.

It supports all Tumblr post types, along with reblog trails and tags. Search and pages are included, as is an ask box. Switch Dark Room and Grid View on or off. You can also toggle Film Grade and set your Roll Label. Choose background and text colours for both the standard and Dark Room palettes, with accent colours adjustable for each.
