General design
The first impression of me is the clean, bright and creative appearance of this WordPress blog theme. It has important features for your blog like a large slider, a full-width Instagram Carousel. The design is based primarily on straight slim lines. Straight line makes the reader feels solid, powerful and orderly.

The zoom-in effect extremely enhances the creativity of the design.

Other elements
The color palette is the combination of cool and warm color. The cool color like light grey, black and white are the safe choice of a website. They make the appearance classic and legible. Meanwhile, the yellow parts give out the highlight to make this theme more creative.
Hind and Playfair-display are the two fonts used in the design. I love the way the sans-serif and the serif font combine with each other. The Hind makes the text readable while the Playfair-display emphasizes the heading.
On the archived post page, there is one latest post displayed with the larger thumbnail. And the other posts are left in the 2-column masonry structure. Indeed, the masonry structure helps the posts look really well-organized and neat.
The header is as clean, well-arranged as you may expect. There are even multiple positions for the menu, especially the slide-out menu jumping out when you click the hamburger button. This menu is made to save room for other factors. It also looks as tidy and simple as the header.

The footer area has everything you need: footer columns, footer menu, social linking icon, and a logo. Do you see the curved line looks like the waves here? They bring about emotion, making this area so attractive rather than a simple, boring place.
Footer
The sidebar is on the left of every page. There is 1 style for the sidebar and no sticky sidebar. In general, the widgets in the sidebar are arranged very clear and tidy.
The most attractive feature of this theme is the nearly full-screen slider. It has a trendy design with a box containing all the necessary information about that post. I guess that you can't help yourself from clicking the purple button, exploring more about the post.

On the single post page, the full-screen feature image is also very impressive. It takes the spotlight of the whole page.

Finally, I have a mistake of this theme: the page navigation doesn't work at the present so you can't load more post in the archived page. I hope that the author will fix it soon.
Responsive
When you use this theme in PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone, the design is still fine. I don't see any mistake of this theme in different devices at all. You can see the responsive design checked by ami.responsivedesign.is.
