Introducing Kontur, a Swiss-style theme for Ghost

One strict grid, big type and a single accent colour: our new theme borrows from Swiss posters, and lets your stories pan sideways.

Kontur’s wall of posters

Kontur is our new theme for Ghost. It borrows from the International Typographic Style — the Swiss posters of the 1950s and 60s: a strict grid, large sans-serif type, sharp corners and a single strong colour.

Posters or Pan

Under the lead story, your latest posts take one of two forms. Posters sets them as a modular wall, in a pattern of seven that continues with Load more. Pan keeps the section on screen while the reader scrolls, and slides the stories sideways.

Your name in a block of colour

Without a logo, the site name is set in a block of your accent colour. Text on the accent turns dark or light automatically, so red, yellow or blue all stay readable.

Three typefaces

Geist, Archivo Expanded or Host Grotesk, chosen in the theme settings. Only the one you pick is loaded.
