Theme Spec — Ghost CMS Buildout
Task: Ghost CMS Buildout
Document Type: theme-spec
Status: ACTIVE
Last Updated: 2026-03-10
Reference: docs/planning/design-bible.md
Theme Approach
Ghost ships with several free themes. The plan is to select the closest match to our visual needs and configure it with Firefrost branding — avoiding a full custom theme build unless necessary.
Recommended starting theme: Casper (Ghost's default) or Source — both support dark mode, custom colors, and hero images well.
Decision during build session: Evaluate available themes against spec below. If none are close enough, we build a minimal custom theme.
Branding Implementation
Colors (Frost Palette — main site)
Background: #0A0A0A (Obsidian Black)
Primary: #00E5FF (Electric Cyan — headings, active links)
Secondary: #01579B (Deep Navy — buttons, nav)
Text: #FFFFFF (Pure White)
Typography
Headings: Orbitron or Rajdhani (Google Fonts — geometric, high-tech)
Body: Inter or Roboto (clean, readable)
Code: Fira Code or JetBrains Mono
Base size: 16px minimum
Logo
- Header:
firefrost-logo-dark.png(full logo on dark background) - Favicon:
firefrost-emblem-512.png - Never distort — maintain aspect ratio
Hero Image
fire-frost-collision.png(2560x1259)- Used as homepage hero background
- Overlay text in white with Electric Cyan accent
Character Assets

Notes for Build Session
- Check what themes are available in the Ghost admin before deciding
- Casper supports
{{accent_color}}which maps directly to our #00E5FF - Custom CSS injection is available in Ghost admin (Settings → Code injection) — use this for font loading and any overrides before committing to a full custom theme
- Mobile responsiveness must be tested before marking complete
