These are nice themes, but I wouldn’t say they are beautiful. I understand that using a lot of whitespace is cool right now, but these themes are basically 90% of whitespace. And most of them look the same. I like clean designs, but this is just too simple. There is no colour, nothing really surprising, it’s just too dull. 5 minutes on themeforest and you will find at least couple of better and cheaper themes.
Your theme, on the other hand, is perfect. Hueman by Alexander Agnarson is one of the most beautiful modern blog themes you can find online. It’s got everything – it’s clean, great typography, perfect amount of whitespace, just enough colours to make it look interesting (grey background is the most important thing here). This theme won’t get old at least in the next couple of years. And, thanks to kindness of Alexander Agnarson, it’s totally free.
