Cyclist

Cyclist is a Jekyll theme. It uses Raster to construct a layout using typographic grid.

The typefaces are Playfair Display for headers, Crimson for body copy, Lato for block quotes, and Fira Mono for code. All of them are free software under the SIL Open Font License. Thank you for everyone's hard work on free typography.
