• No tacky underlines - we achieve everything with bold, italic, small caps and bold italic

  • Mobile friendly headings - it resizes to small and large screens!
  • For even more, install the Style Settings plugin to tweak the type scaling
• Light/Dark support
• High Contrast mode available for increased accessibility. Install the Style Settings plugin to enable it!
• Bonus themes - By installing the Style Settings plugin, you can choose additional colour schemes including Ficus Ruby and VilePlume!
• Hand crafted CSS - no !important, and minimal class use for easy overriding if you like using your own CSS snippets.
• Ligature toggle. Like ligatures? You'll like this theme! Don't like ligatures? Install Style Settings and you can turn them off.

How to use it

1. Open the Appearance tab in Obsidian
2. Click the Manage button
3. Use this search box to find “Typo”, then click “Use”

Installing extra font weights

1. Go to the Google Fonts page of the font you want weights for, Spectral or Alegreya Sans
2. Click Get font then the Download All button. A zip file will download.
3. Extract the zip file. You should see a large number of TrueType Font files, or .TTF files.
4. This step varies based on the operating system you are on.
   1. If you're on Windows or Mac, you can double click a file then click Install in the resulting window that opens.
   2. If you have a Samsung Android phone, you will need to rename the .TTF to .APK, then "install" it like an app.
