Theme Name: Velours
Author: Maison Ardoise
Description: Velours is a dark, wine-velvet editorial theme for blogs about love, intimacy and the psychology of relationships. It reads like a printed monthly issue: an italic masthead between double rules, a full-bleed cover story, an "In this issue" contents page with copper numerals, department sections, a quote band and a quiet colophon.
