What Quietype is for
Quietype is a block theme for people who mostly write: essays, newsletters, personal blogs. Every template is a single column capped at 42rem — roughly sixty-eight characters a line — with no sidebar and no widget areas, so a post page is the post and little else.
Typography uses system font stacks and a fluid size scale, so text renders on the first paint without downloading a font. A second palette switches on automatically when a visitor's device is set to dark mode, and printing a post strips the navigation and spells out link addresses.
It ships five templates (index, single, page, archive, 404), two template parts (header and footer) and four block styles. There are no patterns to learn and no settings screen; design changes happen in Appearance → Editor.
Who it suits
Writers who want long posts to read comfortably on any screen, and who would rather have no sidebar, no widgets and no third-party requests than a page full of options.
Apa saja yang ada di Quietype
- Lebar baca dikunci pada ~68 karakter (contentSize 42rem) dengan tinggi baris 1.7 dan skala tipografi clamp() fluid dari keterangan 13px hingga ukuran display 52px.
- Mode terang/gelap otomatis: setiap warna di theme.json direferensikan sebagai custom property preset, jadi satu penimpaan prefers-color-scheme membalik seluruh situs dan kanvas editor. Kedua palet lolos WCAG AA.
- Nol panggilan jaringan: hanya stack serif, sans, dan mono sistem. Tanpa Google Fonts, tanpa CDN ikon, tanpa plugin bawaan, tanpa jualan tambahan, tanpa pelacakan.
- Siap aksesibilitas: skip link inti (setiap templat memaparkan landmark <main> yang nyata), garis luar :focus-visible dengan fallback :focus, tag semantik header/main/article/footer, dan penanganan prefers-reduced-motion.
- Empat gaya blok kustom yang dibuat untuk esai: pemisah Hairline dan Asterism, gambar Framed, dan kutipan Plain (tanpa garis) — plus drop cap yang benar-benar duduk di garis dasar.
- Lembar gaya cetak yang menghilangkan elemen antarmuka dan memperluas URL tautan di dalam teks berjalan, karena pembaca konten panjang tetap mencetak.

FAQ
Pertanyaan seputar Quietype
What does Quietype need to run?
WordPress 6.5 or later and PHP 7.4 or later, according to its style.css, which also says it was tested up to WordPress 6.8. The current version is 1.0.0.
Does Quietype load any external fonts or scripts?
No. It enqueues only its own stylesheet and uses system serif, sans-serif and monospace font stacks, so it makes no requests to Google Fonts or any other CDN.
How does the Quietype dark mode work?
It follows the visitor's operating-system preference through a prefers-color-scheme media query, which swaps the palette for the site and the editor canvas. There is no toggle button. Text colours in both palettes measure above the WCAG AA contrast ratio of 4.5:1 against their backgrounds.
Can I add a sidebar or widgets to Quietype?
Not out of the box — the layout is deliberately one column and the theme registers no widget areas. You can add blocks to the header or footer template parts in the Site Editor, but a sidebar works against what the theme is for.
Can I remove the Quietype footer credit?
Yes. Open Appearance → Editor → Patterns → Template Parts → Footer, delete the paragraph with the credit and save. Nothing depends on it.
