Ten Newspaper Styles
The Old Newspaper WordPress Theme features ten different color schemes and full styles, inspired by different newspaper styles, eras and paper qualities.
Gray, which is the default, for that real life feel of gray paper one often sees in a daily newspaper.
Rough Gray, as a grungier alternative to the above. WWII style rough gray paper.
Dark Gray, as a darker alternative to the above.
White, for you who want a bit more of a neutral, clean slate to write on.
Natural Paper, featuring the texture of thicker paper — perfect to use with the handwritten typefaces.
Cream Paper, for those of you who want your paper to lean more towards a diary style.
Oxidized, to emulate the style of those really old newspapers you may find in your grandparents shelves.
Space Style — a full blue metallic theme for news that take you straight to the moon.
Space Gray — a gray version of the Space Style, for a conservative approach.
Western Style — a grungier oxodized with old western style typefaces.
Four Newspaper Inspired Post Types
The four post types enables you to emulate the most recurring article types of a regular newspaper.
Standard, which is the default, for timeless serifs and the classic feel they bring.
Breaking News [Aside], to get those in-your-face big bold sans serif letters! Grab the attention!
Notice [Status], inspired by classic wedding & death notices from older style newspapers.
Image, for you to be able to drop in a piece of art or graphic, for example a classic ad picture that can't be reproduced with pure text.
