Mono: Icon-driven minimal free blog theme
Mono is a sleek, minimalistic three-column theme for Publii CMS, and it's free. The design comes from Huseyin Emanet, who generously offered it to the Publii community. The Publii team developed the theme from scratch, tailored specifically for Publii users. Clean layout with icon-driven navigation and a minimal aesthetic that works well for personal blogs, portfolios, or any site where you want content to take center stage without visual clutter.
