# Editorial
A reading-first theme built around a serif baseline grid and a generous measure. Light mode is warm book paper with dark ink. Dark mode drops to a low-glare charcoal with sepia type for late-night reading. Drop caps, running marginalia, and small-caps labels do the design work, so the writing leads and the page stays quiet.
## Good for
We built Editorial for people who write at length. Treat these as starting points, not limits. If the mood fits your brand, use it:
- Personal essayists and columnists
- Independent newsletters and subscriptions
- Longform blogs and reported features
- Author and portfolio sites
## What you get
- Four color presets, each with a tuned light mode and a tuned dark mode: Book Paper, Sepia Review, Legal Pad, and Nightdesk.
- Playfair Display for headings and Source Serif 4 for body text, both bundled and ready. Fonts stay admin-controlled, so you can swap them from the typography settings.
- Four persona blocks: a drop-cap essay opener, running marginalia side notes, a reading list, and a field-notes aside.
- A demo site that installs when you activate the theme: a home page, an about page, a blog with three essays, and a contact page whose form emails your admins. It comes seeded as a newsletter called The Margin, by Frances Hale.
- Every core block restyled to match, plus a themed login screen and a themed 404 page.
## Install
Install from the BlockNinja registry, then pick a preset and assign your fonts in the admin. Activate the demo content if you want a fully dressed starting point.
