General Design
Regular News focuses on readability and elegance, yet with prominence. That's proved by the extensive layout and texts as well as the eye-comforting layout. Besides, the straight lines and low border-radius makes this free magazine theme sharp and "strong".
Other Elements
The background of the first screen area is dark, which causes a strong impression at first sight. And then when scrolling down to read, it's comfortable and legible with the lighter background color. Besides, there are many different colors used in the Category tags so that you can easily recognize and differentiate them. However, I think that various colors like that may be a bit distracting and doesn't match with the elegance of Regular News. Perhaps, if you love this colorful style, you will like them.
Lato family font is used for body texts in order to make this free magazine theme readable. On the other hand, Frank Ruhl Libre - the beautiful and classic style family font - emphasizes the headings and gives Regular News a classy look.
The global layout, besides the full-width style, there is the container style. But, in my view, the container style makes the whole theme quite narrow so I prefer the default full-width one.
Container-style layout
I don't need to review much about the featured content area. You already see how outstanding it is, don't you? This is absolutely the most valuable design, which shows the featured post in the most well-organized and unique layout.
Down the featured content area, the Call to Action with extensive layouts will attract your reader more than every other section. Then, other articles are arranged in a balanced layout with comfortable light blue boxes.
On archive pages, this free magazine theme still keeps the stunning appearance thanks to the full-screen and overwhelming header image. Moreover, all posts are listed separately, prominently, thus giving a balanced and clear look.
Full-screen header image
Single post pages are also beautiful with large and attractive featured images of posts on the header image. What's more, no matter how the featured images' sizes of your posts are, they display stunningly with one default size in the header. That keeps this area symmetrical and united from page to page.
Responsive
This free magazine theme looks good in all viewports. However, because of the restricted width of mobile screens, the featured content area can't keep the cool look like it is in computer screens.
