Using Inkspace
Reading
Reader themes, fonts and layout controls for a comfortable read.
Inkspace’s reader is designed for long-form fiction: generous line spacing, serif typography and textured paper backgrounds.
Reader controls
Open the reading settings button at the top of any story to adjust it on the fly:
| Control | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Reader theme | Dark, Sepia, Light | — |
| Font size | 0.875 rem – 2 rem | 1.125 rem |
| Line height | 1 – 3 | 2.2 |
| Content width | 32 rem – 120 rem | 42 rem |
Changes apply immediately and are remembered on that device.
Reader fonts
Choose your default in Settings → Reading → Reader font:
- Author choice — use the font the author picked for the story.
- Default, Garamond, Lato, Noto Sans, Times New Roman, Open Sans or Mono.
Themes
- Reader theme controls the story pages: dark, sepia or light paper.
- App theme controls everything else: Default (the original cozy Inkspace look), Dark, Sepia or Light.
Both live in Settings → Reading. Want something entirely your own? See Themes & custom CSS.
Calmer reading
Settings → Reading → Reduce animations turns down motion across the reader and the app.
