GithubAcademic-Vibes
A near-black Obsidian theme set in Noto Serif. Your notes won't get smarter, but they'll look like they did.

Features
- Noto Serif for notes, titles and headings, bundled inside the theme. Nothing to install, and it works offline.
- Full Latin and Cyrillic support, with variable weights from regular to bold and a true italic.
- A near-black background, with sidebars a shade darker than the editor and soft hairline borders.
- A burnt-orange accent and the Flexoki palette for colored text, callouts and highlights.
- The interface and code blocks keep Obsidian's default fonts, so the app stays crisp and familiar.
[!note] Academic-Vibes is designed for dark mode. In light mode only the fonts change.
