Great looking theme
You should try submitting it to the wordpress.org directory. I just hope they accept themes using Cufón…
Cosmin, the theme uses Cufon, but it can be turned off from the theme settings. Also, it’s free technology making use of free resources. Not accepting it because it uses Cufon would be similar to not accepting a theme because it uses jQuery or Mootools. Glad you like the theme!
You should double check the dropdown menu in Chrome. Sometimes it disappears before I can click a link. Other than that… awesomeness!
Weird thing, Adrian. Are you sure it’s not just a matter of hovering over the site title by mistake or something? I’m using Chrome for a few months as default browser. The theme has been developed on Chrome and Firefox with minor tweaks for IE, and I never had that problem. Also, from what I remember, you’re a PC user like me, not a Mac user… so that puts us in similar environments. Please let me know if it happens again, maybe we can track the issue down.
I absolutely love this theme. So, simple and beautiful. I’m surprised that this is being given away for free. Kudos to that.
@momosuxx: It’s called giving back to the community. The same community that gave this blog 1 million page view, and that’s not something to overlook. Thanks for the kind words and appreciation!
Nice theme, Alex, I really like it. If I wouldnt like Hybrid so much, this theme would be my next choice.
I think I found 2 errors though. The Cufon font does not play well with some Romanian characters. Do you have any idea of some fonts that do?
Also no threaded comments? Have a look here http://twitpic.com/2fyqci/full
Eugen, the font used by Cufon was meant to be beautiful, not satisfy every language in the world. I blog in Romanian too and I’m not using special characters and the theme works just fine.
Also, the threaded comments thing. That’s my personal choice. I want to preserve the natural flow of the design and threaded comments always manage to break it.
So there you go, no errors there. One personal choice and definitely, if a font doesn’t play well with Romanian characters it’s not a theme error. It’s just a matter of good looks, freeware resource versus a low percentage of bloggers using it with Cufon activated and need for extra special characters. You know you can always disable it in the control panel (this should tell you that I’ve considered a backup solution for cases like yours) and revert to the use of either Palatino or Georgia, based on the fonts installed on the readers computer.
Ok, I know that I can always replace those special characters by hand or using a MySQL query. That should not be a too big of a problem.
But if I would like to use this theme on a blog which used threaded comments before and now I will deactivate them the flow of conversation will look a bit strange. That’s all.
Hi there! Can someone help me add a side column to this? It’s so gorgeous! The bottom widgets won’t work for some reason though
Lela, make sure you add those widgets correctly. The widget areas have nothing special that could make them “not work”. Also, the theme is already used by a few website, one of them my own blog in Romanian: http://alexcristache.com and the widgets work just fine.
As for a sidebar, this is the current layout. Maybe at some point there will be an update containing the option of a sidebar, but if you need it NOW, the only option is to hire me or some other designer to custom code it.
Thanks for this… The layout of the theme doesn’t quite work for me, but I certainly drew a lot of inspiration from this theme
so nice I’ll be trying it out for sure.
Great theme…I really love the typography. GREAT WORK!
I posted this up on my free resource site @ http://bit.ly/bi9ylj
Awesome and great theme. I really loved it.
Thank you for sharing it.
Regards,
Chintan
Beautiful theme, truly, I love simple designs like this. One thing I noticed though, when I uncheck the author and date, etc. so it won’t be shown it still shows up. I’ll probably try to delete it manually, I just hope I don’t screw up the theme.
Robin, it might be a singular problem as this is not an error that has ever been reported, nor did it show up during beta tests.
I like the minimalist feel of this theme and am anxious to give it a shot (it’s downloading now) but I;m wondering why I don’t find this via the WordPress “Install Themes” option.
@Rob O.: Typominima was not added to WordPress’ official themes repository, thus it can’t be found through that tool.
I like this theme
thanks a lot for share, I hope can get more valueble theme here
My breath was literally taken away when I saw this theme. I’m so in love with it! It’s more beautiful than I could have hoped to find. And it’s free… which is amazing. THANK YOU!
Alex, this theme is indeed beautiful and I’m going to replace my current theme on my WP blog with this one.
Can you help me get the individual graphic elements? I’m putting together a free eBook and would love to have the look of it mirror my blog. If I can do this, I plan to give full credit to your team for designing the theme in the book’s credits. Please let me know if you can help me with this. Thank you for such beautiful work – for free!

Too bad it doesn’t have a portfolio or gallery section; otherwise, it’s functional.
I just widened my margins on Typominima, but now my post titles are not centered (and neither is the decorative footer). Can anyone help me figure out how to fix that?
Much appreciated. Please click on my name to see my site – this won’t let me post my url.
Nice! I will put it into my collection.
Very nice. Thank you
great themes..i like your themes..
thank for share
Any chance you could share the .psd for the deco images? Love the theme, but when changing the background of my site I need to also change the deco images background. Or maybe make them transparent .pngs?
Thanks
I was wondering why the Featured Header doesn’t show up for me? Am I missing a simple setting? Excellent theme. Thank yoU!
I love your theme very much! but i have a problem with this theme, it seems that the text appear beside of the picture whenever I blog. Is there anyway to make it below of the picture? I have tried to align it but never work.
Much appreciated
It would be great if your nice theme could be internationalized. I would like to translate it to spanish.
Lovely theme. Very nice typography. Having control of the sidebar widgets would be nice.
I’m using your theme and I LOVE it so much. Thanks a lot~!
BTW, peacemusicbabe… I guess, your images’ width shouldn’t be smaller than the width of the blog post area.
This template does not display some characters written in languages other than English.. is this a known problem ???

http://libertynewscentral.blog.....enews.html
Gorgeous theme is here now mate. I really love this theme & also inspired of the design works taken for it. It looks great with the softy & lighten feel.
Thank you so much for sharing such a nice theme. Keep on posting wonderful things like this
Hi!
I love this theme and am trying to use it as my photography blog. However, with the current settings, I can’t increase the size of my photos very much without running into the comment, author, date, etc. info. Is there any way to move that stuff below my post so I can put really big pictures on? (Width of the header)
I’d appreciate any help! I tried looking at the code, but couldn’t figure out how to do this.
Thank you!
Tiffany
Beautiful theme–used it for a friend at http://ashleighbaker.net One potential bug we found was when we installed the plugin WP Comment Thread to enable nested comments–the reply comment box was tiny. Discovered that in comments.php the textarea definition for “comment” had an empty value for “cols”–I replaced it with a value of 85 and it worked beautifully.
CommentThis page is exactly what i’ve been looking for! Great Theme. I found your article bookmarked from a friend. I will also bookmark it. thanks!
I don’t know how this theme managed to work with Blogger but it did. Found it in Best Blogger Templates, didn’t realize it was a WordPress theme. I love it. Thank you and for making it free. Just one question is there any way to center my photos above the text? Having used a WordPress them on Blogger somehow even when centering the photos from the blogger dashboard they show up off to the side. But I still love this theme anyway even with the photos side aligned.
I great theme, love the title.. quick question how do ii change the size of the pictures? mine are coming really small.. thanks!
I’m kind of a biggest fan of minimalistic themes and loved the typography and layout used in this theme.I will try to add portfolio section using nextgen gallery plugin.
I big big Thanks for such a great Work.
Nice!
One key question:
How does it play with WPress 3.1??
tnks!
%%robert
ohh/this is ht theme__!love minimal_)
Great looking theme!)
Dude, awesome theme! Really really loved it.
No dates or labels to the post tho’. You think an option can be provided? Will be even better then.
Keep rockin’
@robert phillips: The demo runs on WordPress 3.1. I see no errors.
@Abhimanyu: What you are using is a derivate of my original work. This theme was intended for use on WordPress websites and not Blogspot, but someone took their time to create a version. Please try and ask the ones that modified if they can include the features you need. Thanks!
Alex, first, thank you for the template. ¡You are GREAT!
I installed correctly, but would like to ask you something:
- Can you give me the code to change the css so i can PUT AN IMAGE in the header?
(like this guy http://libertynewscentral.blog.....enews.html) but A REGULAR SIZE
THANK YOU
Also, would love to know, how can you set the images of a post in the center, because they all go to the left!!
Thanks!
Arizona, I need to know if you’re using this template on a WordPress blog or on Blogspot like the sample link you provided. Cause the Blogspot version of the template is just a copy/adaption of my work done by someone else and unless you’re using the WordPress version, I can’t help you.
Hello Alex,
I’m using blogspot, but I thought that the css code to put an IMAGE as a header would be the same (?)
I tried to copy the css code for the header but didn’t work , sorry :p
Try sending an email with a link. I have a “Contact” section.
I really like this theme. it’s clean, minimalistic and stylish. Good work…
Great theme, good work. Thanks!
thank you for your work/ that is great
Tnks for the confirm, Alex!

Lovely…
Simple yet Elegant
Excellent theme for a blog! For a long time I search for something similar for one of the blogs on a theme of stories and verses, thanks)
This is my favorite theme. I use it for a really long time. But it’s so bad can’t make visible ”ADD COMMENT” button above posts. Please help me do it. I don’t want to give up this theme.

Hey there,
Can we pay to remove the bottom right hand credit set in the footer?
I LOVE this template! It just gave my site that perfect touch I was searching for. I would love to move the comments to the bottom of my posts though. Can you please help me with that?
Excellent theme for a blog.
Lovely…
Simple yet Elegant
I really like this theme. it’s clean, minimalistic and stylish. Good work…
great theme, really! but great problem with Firefox. Look to my site, please.
Hi Alex,
This is indeed a beautiful theme. I feel like I have browsed hundreds of themes, an yours is the best one I can find. Thanks so much. My only request, very minor, is that you had an option to remove the author name, as you can remove the date, comment count, categories, etc. from the blog posts. All of my posts are done by myself, so it is redundant.
Thanks so much for the great work and for sharing for free. I will be sure to donate to the cause.
I take back the comment about the author name. I don’t know anything about PHP or CSS, and I was able to figure out how to remove it on my own. If I can do it, anyone can. Now, I just have to find where to donate to the cause.
Thanks again! Excellent theme!
nice theme.
can I edit this theme and use it in my blog?
thank you.
Can i provide some localization to this theme?
Hi Joe, thanks a bunch for your offer but at this very moment I don’t really offer any more support on this theme. Life took some turns that keep me away from the blog for the time being. If you feel up to the job and really want to do it, go ahead and shoot me the end result. If it’s quality work I’ll upload it instead of the current package and give you a mention on the localization effort. But that’s as much as I can do right now. Cheers and thanks again!
Does anyone know where I can access the theme’s control panel from? or does it not work with the latest version of wordpress?
Can’t seem to find it after I activate the theme.
In the Dashboard, on the left side of your browser you have the WP menu, scroll down and Typominima’s control panel button should be the last item, or if you have other plugins that generate menu items it should at least be among the last items. “Typominima CP”.
I love this theme. So glad it’s free. Im using the wordpress version and I’d like to put an image under the heading. Ive seen afew others do it. Could I get help with this? Also , is there any way to have sidebars? Or use the blogger version on wordpress?
Thanks!
Realy simple and elegant,but i use googlelab for test the speed of this theme, the result is 75, hmm, i think it’s low, can you make it little faster.?
I have a quick question. How does one employ/use the pagination for blog posts using this theme? Am I missing something I should see?
Thanks-John
I’m using your theme and I LOVE it so much. Thanks a lot
I like this theme. Simple, clean look s pro.
Thanks a lot for share it.
Thank you for your generosity. As a struggling writer (like most of ‘em), it was great to find such a beautiful theme for free.
I did some changes in the CSS and kept all the credits:

Thank you so much,
Fábio
I love the theme alot. Thank you for your generousity in sharing your creation:-)
May I know how do I go about to change the font type and the font size?
Great looking theme!) Thanks
Nice theme. Thanks for sharing
Hello,
I wanted to create a child theme of Typominima and it seems it does not work… Is it normal ?
This is a great theme. It is exactly the theme I was looking for my blog that is more focussed on writing than the images. Like others before, I had to wonder “How this could be free?”. Kudos to your decision to release this for free.
Really …. So thrilled to announce yet a new quality freebie here on Blogsessive. Meet Typominima, a free typography based, gorgeous, minimal WordPress theme fit for the writer inside you. Thanks….
Thank you so much for this! It is beautiful. I’m using this as my base theme now for my photography blog.
I hope it’s already I tweaked it to add a sidebar though. Kept all your credits there still.
Oops, sorry i meant “i hope it’s alright”. Removed the meta details and placed them below the posts too coz it overlapped with my landscape photos.
I have a question, how do i exclude pages from being searched on the header? i dont really understand the code for the search. doesnt seem like it uses a function to search so i cant edit it.
Great theme. Thanks!
I recently downloaded the Typominima theme on wordpress. I wanted to if i would be able to add a logo to this theme. Could you please assist me on how to do this?
Wonderful and the best part: its free.
This was all I need, although I was looking for single column theme. Didn’t took a lot of time to remove the sidebar. Contact me if you want to remove yours too.
Once again thanks for your hard work.
Hi,
love your theme. We´re using it for our Bandpage. Unfortunately the internet explorer (newest) doesn´t show the headlines. I figured it´s the same with your blog. Any Idea ?
THX
@Rohima
I just replaced one of the images surrounding the Blog-Title with a pic. works fine.
Hey, love your theme! But, I think MS broke something. The Cufon fonts do not render in Internet Explorer 9.0. This leaves blank spaces where titles and headings should be. Un-checking “Enable Cufón font-replacement” ‘fixes’ the problem, but of course it uses a different (much less attractive) font. This is true on my home AND work computers. Its also true of my install AND when I view your demo version from your site. Firefox, Chrome and Safari all work fine. Feel free to email if you need more info. Happy holidays! THANKS!
I’d just like to say, “Thank you” for the lovely (and free!) Typominima WordPress Theme. It is both elegant, traditional, modern, and simple at the same time. Best of all (for me), it uses a similar color scheme to my old theme design, which I built using Thesis a few years ago. I did not have time to invest in site design this time, and I had not liked the other themes I had tried out. This is great, and exactly the look I wanted. Again, “thank you!”
