# Noir

A detective's dossier laid out on the desk. Case-file cards, typewriter type, and black redaction bars set the tone, with a faint film grain over the whole surface. By day it reads like a high-key gallery wall. At night it drops to darkroom black. The mood is investigative and a little tense, and the type stays legible throughout.

## Good for

We built Noir for storytelling with an edge. Treat these as starting points, not limits. If the mood fits your brand, use it:

- True-crime podcasts and newsletters
- Investigative journalism and long-form reporting
- Mystery authors and book launches
- Escape rooms and immersive events

## What you get

- Five color presets, each with a tuned light mode and a tuned dark mode: Cold Case, Evidence Red, Safelight, Interrogation, and Redaction.
- Source Serif 4 for reading and IBM Plex Mono for labels and stamps, both bundled. Fonts stay admin-controlled, so you can swap them from the typography settings.
- Four persona blocks: a case dossier, a stamped case-file card, an evidence board with pinned notes, and a redacted quote with blacked-out lines.
- A demo site that installs when you activate the theme: a home page, an about page, a short blog, and a contact page whose form emails your admins.
- 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 built starting point.
