About Primarium

This theme is a text-first notebook that showcases handwriting-inspired typography through poetic, personal writing with a clean reading flow. Inspired by the Primarium project—an open-source handwriting system by TypeTogether on Google Fonts that models primary education handwriting—it links design with pedagogical research. It suits writers who favor reflective, poetic, and personal content over traditional blog posts.

Why use a child theme for Primarium?

Every time Primarium ships an update, any direct edits you made to its files are overwritten. A child theme isolates your changes — custom CSS, template overrides, additional functions — so the parent can update freely while your customizations stay intact.

  • Survive Primarium updates without losing your edits.
  • Override any Primarium template file by copying it into the child.
  • Add custom hooks, shortcodes, or enqueue your own scripts.
  • Roll back to the parent at any time by deactivating the child.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Primarium child theme? +

A child theme is a separate WordPress theme that inherits all functionality, design, and templates from Primarium (its parent). You make your customizations in the child so they survive updates to the parent theme.

Do I need to know code to use this generator? +

No. The generator creates a complete, valid Primarium child theme with style.css, functions.php, screenshot.png, and README.txt. You can customize via the form fields, and if you want to add custom CSS or PHP later you can edit the files directly.

Will the child theme break when Primarium updates? +

That's exactly what a child theme is designed to prevent. Primarium can be updated freely without losing your customizations, because they live in the child theme files.

Is this generator really free? +

Yes. There is no signup, no payment, and no limit on how many Primarium child themes you can generate. The zip is built on demand and downloaded directly to you.
