GAZETTE — WordPress Magazine Theme
An editorial block theme for magazines.
A refined WordPress block-theme (full-site editing) for digital magazines, news and culture publications. A Fraunces + Newsreader editorial type system, category color-coding, a lead-story masthead and a complete set of blog templates — homepage, archive, category, tag, author, search and a long-read single — all editable in the Site Editor. Delivered as a real, installable WP theme; its static preview is explicitly fictional and keeps subscription actions local.

Write and publish entirely in the WordPress block editor — categories, authors and featured images drive the magazine layouts automatically. The static preview is explicitly fictional, and its subscription forms demonstrate local states without sending data.
What makes it special
A real magazine front page
A lead-story masthead, a 'this week's reading' featured grid, an Ideas section, a ranked 'most read' band and category-tagged latest posts — composed from patterns, not a static mockup.
The full editorial template set
Homepage, blog index, long-read single (kicker, byline, read-time, drop-cap, pull quotes, author bio, related), plus category, tag, author, search and 404 — every one editable in the Site Editor.
Editorial typography
Fraunces display + Newsreader for long-form reading + Inter for labels, on a warm-paper palette with an editorial-crimson accent and ink-blue category coding — tuned for hours of reading.
Three one-click styles
Switch between the warm default, a 'Night' reading mode and alternate accents — token-only variations that re-theme every template, with AA contrast verified in each.
Accessible & responsive
Semantic landmarks, visible focus rings, WCAG 2.2 AA contrast, a reading-progress bar, clean layout from 375px to 4K, and every animation gated behind prefers-reduced-motion.
