Papyrus Nox

A dark-only theme for Obsidian — aged paper texture, earthy tones, hinted serifs.

Features

  • CSS-only paper texture — layered SVG noise (feTurbulence + feDiffuseLighting), fiber lines, aging stains, and a deep vignette. No images required.
  • Earthy heading palette — gold, teal, mauve, cyan, rosé, and taupe across H1–H6, each with a letterpress text-shadow.
  • Narrow, screen-optimised body text — DM Sans at 95 % font-stretch, 14 px, 1.75 line-height, max 550 px page width.
  • Dark flat sidebar — distraction-free navigation without paper texture.
  • Dotted heading underlines in H1 gold.
  • Accessible focus indicators and print styles.
