Beacon is a minimal blog theme built for speed and readability. This post shows off the typography and features so you can see how your content will look.

What’s inside

Beacon pairs a two-column card layout with a modern deep-charcoal palette, crisp typography, and gentle motion — a calm, focused reading experience. It ships with:

  • Light / dark / auto color modes with a persisted toggle
  • A card-based post list homepage in a clean two-column layout
  • Reading time, word count, tags, and breadcrumbs
  • Table of contents, code-copy buttons, and share links
  • SEO, OpenGraph, and Twitter card metadata out of the box

Typography

Here’s a blockquote to set the tone:

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

And an ordered list:

  1. Write your post in Markdown
  2. Drop it in content/posts/
  3. Run hugo server and preview

Code blocks

Inline code looks like this. Fenced blocks get a copy button on hover:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, Beacon!")
}
