Duotone essay social card template
Duotone essay is a card for blog post posts: foggy forest under a deep violet tint, so the photo reads as one color, oversized cream DM Serif Display headline.
The same design at every size
The editor restacks the layout for each shape. These are the actual exports, not the 1200x630 card scaled.
About this design
The headline is set in DM Serif Display, the supporting text in Work Sans. The photo fills the whole card under a tint that keeps the text readable.
It exports at 1200x630, the size link previews use on X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Slack and Discord, and the same design restacks for the other five sizes: 1280x720, 1080x1080, 1080x1350, 1080x1920, 1000x1500.
