Vignelli: Minimal Tumblr theme
Tumblr is a great microblogging platform for folks who want to get up and running with minimum hassle. The feature set is constantly improving and there are already a number of good themes available. However, when I was searching for a minimalist-style theme, I couldn’t find one I was particularly happy with.
I decided to create to my own free minimal Tumblr theme, inspired loosely by the great Modernist Massimo Vignelli, and the style of my own blog.
Note: Vignelli is a completely free theme, and as such I don’t offer technical support. The official custom Tumblr theme documentation contains plenty of guidance.
