Walnut Letter — Substack Essay Header

An intimate, byline-forward header for personal-essay newsletters, pairing a small circular headshot with layered editorial serif typography — writer name, essay title, and dateline stacked in quiet, unhurried hierarchy.

This template exists for writers who believe the byline is the brand. It values literary typography and the single human voice over institutional hierarchy or decorative flourish, treating the essay title as the only graphic object that matters. It refuses color drama, pull-quote callouts, and anything that competes with the first sentence of the piece. The implied room is a reader's phone at 10 p.m., not a conference stage.

Palette — Oat Coffee
