Almanac

A blog template organised by drawer rather than feed. Hand-drawn category tiles, warm paper tones. Link: almanac-blog.framer.website

Built for

Essayists, critics and newsletter writers with years of posts behind them.

Design

Categories appear as a grid of hand-illustrated tiles, each a flat object on a muted ground: a book, a lamp, a cursor, a leaf, a building, a hammer. You pick a drawer instead of scrolling a timeline.
The headline states the archive as a fact and includes the year it started.
Brick red, mustard, forest green, cream. A serif for headlines, a sans for everything else. The illustrations carry the colour so the reading surface stays quiet.

Inside

Index, Subjects, About, Newsletter. Posts and categories on CMS, search, light and dark themes. Desktop, tablet and mobile.
