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.
Quietype에 담긴 것
- 약 68자로 고정된 읽기 줄 너비(42rem contentSize), 1.7 줄 높이, 그리고 13px 캡션부터 52px 디스플레이 크기까지 이어지는 유동형 clamp() 글자 크기 체계.
- 자동 라이트/다크 모드: theme.json의 모든 색상이 프리셋 사용자 정의 속성으로 참조되므로, 단 하나의 prefers-color-scheme 재정의만으로 사이트 전체와 편집기 캔버스가 전환됩니다. 두 팔레트 모두 WCAG AA를 통과합니다.
- 네트워크 호출 0회: 시스템 serif, sans, mono 스택만 사용합니다. Google Fonts 없음, 아이콘 CDN 없음, 번들 플러그인 없음, 추가 판매 없음, 추적 없음.
- 접근성 준비 완료: 코어 건너뛰기 링크(모든 템플릿이 실제 <main> 랜드마크를 노출), :focus 대체가 포함된 :focus-visible 윤곽선, 시맨틱 header/main/article/footer 태그, 그리고 prefers-reduced-motion 처리.
- 에세이를 위해 만든 네 가지 사용자 정의 블록 스타일: Hairline 및 Asterism 구분선, Framed 이미지, 그리고 Plain(선 없는) 인용 — 여기에 실제로 베이스라인에 자리 잡는 드롭 캡까지.
- 본문 속 링크 URL을 펼쳐서 보여주고 화면 장식 요소(chrome)를 걷어내는 인쇄용 스타일시트 — 긴 글을 읽는 독자는 여전히 인쇄를 하기 때문입니다.

자주 묻는 질문
Quietype 관련 질문
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.
