Torn paper, instant prints, a hand-set serif
Deckle
Deckle is built like a keepsake. Sections sit on sheets of warm paper whose edges are torn rather than cut, photographs arrive framed as instant prints with a strip of tape, and headlines are set in an italic serif that reads like a handwritten note. It suits businesses whose work is personal and made by hand, where visitors should feel they are being shown something rather than sold to.
01 / Character
How Deckle looks and reads
- Painted sections with torn paper edges instead of straight lines
- Photographs framed as instant prints, tilted and held with tape
- An italic editorial serif for headlines over a plain, readable sans
- Olive, blush, kraft, seaside and darkroom palettes on warm paper
How the page flows
Deckle alternates open cream pages with painted sheets. Stories pair a framed print with a short passage, galleries scatter prints at slight angles, and quotes arrive on a torn card. On phones the prints straighten a little and stack, so nothing is cropped or crowded.

Features
A note over a photograph
The opening headline sits on a torn sheet pinned over your photograph, with its last word underlined by hand.
Instant prints
Gallery photographs arrive as tilted prints with tape, and straighten when a visitor points at them.
04 / Make it yours
Shape the mood around your brand
- Olive Press is the default. Blush Post and Seaside Blue are lighter, Kraft Mail is warmer, and Darkroom moves the pages onto a dark ground.
- The underline under the last word of each opening headline is drawn by the theme, so end the headline on the word you want noticed.
- Photographs keep their white borders in every palette, including Darkroom.
05 / Every screen
Clear, comfortable, and easy to use
- Body text and links keep strong contrast on every paper and painted palette.
- Tilted prints, the scroll tint and the drawn underline are decorative and stop when a visitor asks for reduced motion.
- Torn edges sit in the padding around each section, never over its text.
06 / FAQ
Deckle questions
- Can I turn off the torn edges?
- They appear only on painted sections. Keep a section on the default paper palette and it sits flat on the page.
- Do my photos need a particular shape?
- No. The frame adapts to landscape, portrait and square images, and your focal point still decides the crop.
- Which palette does Deckle start with?
- Deckle begins with Olive Press. You can switch to Blush Post, Kraft Mail, Seaside Blue or Darkroom at any time.
