In ewenme/ewenthemes: Beautiful Themes and Theme Components for 'ggplot2'

ewenthemes

Minimal, typography-centric themes and aesthetic helpers, principally for charts on ewen.io. Standing on the shoulders of hrbrthemes.

The core theme, theme_ewen(), uses Arial Narrow, which should be installed on practically any modern system. Variations on this theme implement custom typefaces - theme_ewen_rs uses the Recursive typography palette, theme_ewen_ws() runs on Wei Huang’s Work Sans.

Core themes:

• theme_ewen: Arial Narrow-based theme
• theme_ewen_rs: Recursive Sans-based theme
• theme_ewen_ws: Work Sans-based theme

Installation

devtools::install_github("ewenme/ewenthemes")
