A modern full-site-editing (block) theme for WordPress — built for studios and small businesses. Editorial serif/sans typography, a warm neutral palette, ready-made block patterns, and light/dark style variations. No page builder, no external services.
- Full site editing — everything is editable in the Site Editor. Header/footer template parts plus templates for the front page, blog, single posts, pages, archives, search, and 404.
theme.jsondesign system — a custom color palette, fluid typography, spacing presets, and a constrained/wide layout, all driven from one file (version: 3).- Block patterns — Hero, Services, Stats, Testimonial, and Call-to-Action, grouped under a "Brightwork" category and composed into the front page.
- Style variations — the default light theme plus Midnight (dark) and Marine (teal), switchable from Appearance → Styles.
- Custom block styles — Card group, Rounded image, and Editorial quote (registered with self-contained CSS).
- Self-contained — a system-font stack; nothing is loaded from a CDN or third party.
