General Design
Each demo has different designs to fit with the niche. But in general, they are all intuitive with prominent elements and own the professional, clean, modern and beautiful look.
Other Elements
Color and Font
The use of color is really smart. Each demo has its own typical color, for example, the grey demo for photography is so cool!

Moreover, the colors not only emphasize the special characteristic of each demo but also follow the color wheel rule. Therefore, they are pretty harmonious and beautiful. Like this demo, you can see the use of pink, green, and blue is really good.
Review the use of colors
As for the typography, this free multipurpose put the intuitiveness at the top of priority. Hence, all the font types and styles are readable and prominent, but still, get along well with other elements.
Notably, you are allowed to change the typography and some color sections to have your own personal style.
Layout
Layout boxed & framed are available in Rife Pro. In this free version, the layouts of all demo are full-width, really extensive, and spacious. They all have an impressive homepage and other clean, tidy inner page. Especially, this Frame demo is the most unique of all with only a video slider on the front end.

Other Inner Pages
Rife focuses on homepage design but doesn't forget the single post pages. Featured images are large, overwhelming, giving an impressive look for these pages.

There are different styles for archive pages like masonry, grid, list. They are all beautiful and well-organized. Moreover, you can customize the layout to make it center-focused, right-focused, or left-focused depending on your taste. But I still prefer a center-focused style like this:

Well, it looks more balanced than this:

The full-width layout, header, menu, ... and every element still look beautiful on any view ports. So your experience on any device with this theme is still great!
