Sankofa
An expressive editorial theme combining Afrofuturist influences, geometric patterns, and spacious story grids.
About Sankofa
Sankofa gives journals, cultural magazines, and narrative projects an editorial setting rooted in Afrofuturism. Geometric ornament appears across the theme, while broad two- or four-column post grids combine cover imagery and masks in layered compositions.
The default style pairs Formera headings with Chakra Petch body text and a vivid palette. The Dogon variation uses muted archival tones, Jaro headings, and PT Root UI body copy, offering a different treatment of the same publishing structure.

Formera headings pair with Chakra Petch body text in the live demo. Vivid colors, African geometric ornament, cover imagery, and masks support the Afrofuturist visual direction. A yellow hero places the main heading at the left and a short introduction at the right. Below it, a four-column row uses contrasting burgundy, green, purple and brown panels.
