Snowpeak: the design publication that reads like a bento

Snowpeak is built for design blogs, studios and newsletters writing about type, interfaces, identity and the people behind the work.

Every block is a rounded card on a grey ground, every topic owns a colour, and every cover is a small drawing instead of a stock photo.

Why Snowpeak

  • Purpose-built for design publications, studio journals and weekly newsletters
  • A floating navigation that opens into a row of pill links and remembers its state between pages
  • A home front with a lead story, this week’s list, colour coded topic tiles and a newsletter signup
  • An article archive with topic filters, one archive per topic in its own colour, and article pages with a members gate and read next
  • Editor profiles, a membership page with three plans, a newsletter page, an advertise page and a write for us page
  • Minimal drawn SVG covers and portraits, easy to swap for photos
  • 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

One card does every list, and the first topic of each article sets its colour across the cover, the archive and the home tiles. Add a topic in one file and its page, filter and tile build themselves.

Snowpeak 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.
