Hemingway: the magazine and podcast that reads like print

Hemingway is built for editors, writers and podcasters who publish essays and episodes side by side and want the site to feel like a magazine you would keep.

One typeface in semibold headlines, full bleed photographs and plain meta lines under every story: the photographs bring the colour, the pages stay black and white.

Why Hemingway

  • Purpose-built for culture magazines, independent publications and interview podcasts
  • A home page that opens on a strip of photographs, then a full bleed lead story, an index of the latest essays and the latest episode with its player
  • A magazine with topic pages, reading time and author profiles, and a podcast with show notes and a custom audio player
  • A members-only paywall for essays and episodes, a membership page with three plans in rows, sign in and sign up
  • A minimal navigation with a megamenu, an about page with the contributors, and the membership call in the footer beside the printed edition
  • Fast, lightweight and SEO-ready thanks to Astro, with RSS and sitemap included
  • Lenis smooth scroll, a design skill and AGENTS.md for AI coding tools

Layout & Structure

Every story card follows one order: the title, the standfirst, the person, then topic and date. Each page has its own layout: a photo strip on the home, a full bleed image on essays, a split screen on sign up, a side nav on legal pages.

Hemingway is also available with Sanity CMS or EmDash CMS for teams that want to publish without touching code.

Thanks to Michael adapting Enlightr to Sanity CMS, I was able to create Madrid Landing Kit. I’m amazed by the simplicity and beauty of every Lexington theme.
