Deliver the full Wave A contract for the editorial theme (personal
essayist / independent newsletter persona).
- 49 mandatory builtin overrides in templates/overrides/editorial/,
re-skinned from the frozen builtins: hairline rules, small-caps labels,
drop caps, narrow reading measure, oxblood accent. All content fields,
provider fields, custom tags ({% img %}/{% form %}/{% signup_form %}),
hx wiring, navbar drawer JS and auth/contact form wiring preserved
verbatim; legacy button/card field reads reconciled (link/style/label,
media/text).
- 7 page templates (default, full-width, landing, article, blog-index,
contact, auth); article is the reading centrepiece with drop-cap opener,
marginalia rail and a CSS-only reading-progress underline. All set the
html.dark class and route body font through var(--font-body).
- Block rework: masthead/byline/pullquote/section_label/colophon deleted
(now overrides of navbar/post-metadata/quote/divider/footer). Persona
blocks: dropcap_intro, marginalia, reading_list, field_notes.
- 4 presets, all mode "both", book-paper light + sepia-on-charcoal dark.
- Bundled Playfair Display + Source Serif 4 (OFL, latin subset) in
assets/fonts with license record; fonts.json populated; every
font-family via var(--font-heading|body|mono, fallback).
- Themed email-safe wrapper (tables, inline styles, literal fonts).
- Master pages + seed demo site (home, about, blog with 3 essays,
contact with form + data table + row_inserted email-admins workflow,
login) in essayist voice.
- required_icon_packs=["lucide"]; RECOMMENDED_FONTS/ICONS updated.
Motion tier: CSS-first (progress underline, marginalia fade-in;
prefers-reduced-motion honored). Verified: make + ninja plugin verify +
check-safety all exit 0. Visual quality UNVERIFIED until Wave B.

# Editorial — fonts
|
|
|
|
This theme **bundles** a Latin subset of two open-licence (SIL OFL 1.1)
|
|
serif families, so it looks correct the moment it is activated — no admin
|
|
setup required. The bundled faces are declared in `fonts.json` and land in
|
|
the typography picker as `source=template` rows.
|
|
|
|
| Slot | Bundled family | Weights / styles | Role |
|
|
|---------|-------------------|---------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|
|
| Heading | Playfair Display | 700 normal, 900 italic | Didone display face for the masthead wordmark and headlines |
|
|
| Body | Source Serif 4 | 400 normal, 400 italic | Long-read body type; italic for marginalia and captions |
|
|
|
|
The bundled woff2 files and their licence record live in `assets/fonts/`
|
|
(`OFL.txt`). Every `font-family` in the theme is routed through
|
|
`var(--font-heading, ...)`, `var(--font-body, ...)` and `var(--font-mono, ...)`
|
|
with a fallback stack, so the layout is usable before any font is assigned
|
|
and the admin font picker stays in full control.
|
|
|
|
## Assigning the bundled faces
|
|
|
|
1. In the BlockNinja admin, open **Settings → Theme → Typography**.
|
|
2. In the **Bundled** tab, assign **Playfair Display** to the *Heading* slot.
|
|
3. Assign **Source Serif 4** to the *Body* slot.
|
|
4. Leave *Mono* as the system default, or assign **JetBrains Mono** from the
|
|
Google Fonts tab — it is used for the masthead kicker, datelines and the
|
|
colophon ISSN.
|
|
|
|
## Optional upgrades (Google Fonts tab)
|
|
|
|
- **Spectral** (`google:Spectral`) — a refined small-caps serif. Assign it to
|
|
the body slot if you want the small-caps section labels to carry true
|
|
small-caps rather than the synthesized `font-variant: small-caps` fallback.
|
|
- **Newsreader** (`google:Newsreader`) — an alternative reading serif for the
|
|
body slot; swaps in without any CSS change via `var(--font-body)`.
|
|
- **JetBrains Mono** (`google:JetBrains Mono`) — for the *Mono* slot
|
|
(kicker / dateline / ISSN).
|
|
|
|
## Bundling a commercial display face (out of scope for Wave A)
|
|
|
|
If the brand locks in a licensed display face (e.g. *Migra* or *PP Editorial
|
|
New*) in place of Playfair Display, licence and subset the woff2 set, drop it
|
|
in `assets/fonts/`, and add the family + variants to `fonts.json`. The CSS
|
|
does not change — the same `var(--font-heading)` consumer picks up whichever
|
|
face an admin assigns.
