Description
- Tessera: A Creator & Storytelling Website Template
- Tessera is a modern, lightweight home for storytellers and creators who publish in more than one format. A clean grid, crisp type and a touch of italic serif give it a calm, editorial feel. Its modular homepage can be rearranged block by block, so every site built with it can look its own.
