Add a dash of color to your site with Liquorice, a wonderful new theme now available on WordPress.com.
Gorgeous textures and smooth-as-silk typography make this a striking backdrop for your content. This theme’s design is light and airy without being too plain or minimalistic; it’s a great fit for any type of site.
Liquorice features custom subscribe icons for RSS, Twitter, and Facebook for your site header and built-in support for the bold and adventurous Lobster typeface. If you choose to enable Lobster via Appearance → Typekit Fonts you’ll add an extra touch of retro feel to your site. Lobster’s bold, calligraphic strokes make it perfect for calling out titles and headings.
Make this theme your own with the custom background feature, custom header image, and custom menu. Learn all about Liquorice on the Theme Showcase.
Designed by Nudge Design, Liquorice is also available for self-hosted WordPress.org sites via the WordPress.org Themes Directory.

A beautiful one there. Lovely!
It’s so nice!, but I think it will be nicer if it had some ‘steampunk’ touch. 😉
This look great! I love how smooth it is – it almost resembles embossed stationary, like a wedding invite. Kudos!
Wow thatis so cool. 🙂
Why doesn’t the font show when I use it? It’s just the usual font for the header that shows up.
Uh, I get it. Must activate typekit font.
I do not like the test of liquorice, however the liquorice theme is very nice.
Very good hope to have more free themes.
Well it’s nice! 🙂
I love that font for the header. Really beautiful and it’s unusual. I haven’t seen it around. What a temptation !
Looks dull.
Ooo! I love it, I love it, i love it! Reminds me of a ’50’s diner/drugstore! Switching over… I LOVE IT!
It’s awesome.
Kinda sweet. Might change over but right now I’m too tired. I also must agree it does like fifties diner even though I wasn’t alive in the fiveties and diners are a rare site nowadays replaced solely by the ever-growing fast food industry.
Well for now.
Simple but nice… Wonderful! 🙂
Look forward to more choices.
Yes, like diner.
Looks nice, but I prefer my current Theme! 🙂
I don’t see what’s so good about this theme. I for 1 don’t real care for it I like the them that I’m using.
That! I stand in awe! =)
After living in Monterey Bay for 4 years- I’ve got to say I’m impressed Big Sur is up there on your new blog 🙂 If you haven’t been there before check it out. Great new theme by the way!
Oh wow, and the FB/Twitter links are totally slick
Love the header! The theme is so retro yet simple!!
Too beautiful! How to install it to my blog?
Just…another great theme! 🙂
Looks great. It’s good that the themes catalogue is showing more variation in styles.
This theme just gave me a look at the past!!
Great theme. I think, I might try it.
Simple but has a very pleasing look to it. I do very much like that touch of retro-ness to it.
This one is awesome! I love 50s and retro…
