Aero2 is a design-first jekyll web theme built around layout, typography, and interaction the way printed media and early web UI did, while still respecting modern expectations for responsiveness, accessibility, SEO, and performance.

Aero2 avoids features that dilute the design:

• No animations
• No “component soup”
• No hidden interactions
• Light and dark mode

If something moves, collapses, or changes state, it does so clearly and predictably.

The use of jQuery is intentional to align with the theme’s old-web sensibility

This makes the theme easy to extend, easy to read, and hard to break.

Aero2 works best for:

• Writing-heavy sites
• Journals, and documentation
• Projects that value clarity
• Customizablility as a dual column layout base template.

Aero2 is trying to look confident, legible, and considered —
and to keep working the same way for a long time.
