In early 2018, WordPress was at the cusp of launching Gutenberg, its brand new block-based editor. At this point few (if any) WordPress themes had been created specifically with this new software in mind.

With this in mind, I teamed up with my friend and colleague Allan Cole to build a theme that leveraged the block editor, but didn’t look like the block editor at all.
