Getting started with Summit's Themes
Assets and Resources
Images
Theme images are sourced from free, open-source platforms. You’re welcome to reuse them in your projects:
- Lummi - AI-generated stock photos with excellent quality and variety
Icons
All icons are free and open-source, giving you flexibility and legal peace of mind:
Icon Libraries Used
- Remix Icons - Neutral-style icon system, perfect for modern interfaces
- Tabler Icons - SVG icons specifically designed for web interfaces
- Phosphor Icons - Flexible icon family with multiple weights
Typography
Fonts are bundled with the theme and self-hosted (preloaded woff2 files in the theme’s font folder) for the best performance and privacy — no third-party font CDN request at runtime. Every bundled font is licensed under the SIL Open Font License (OFL), so it is free to use commercially and redistributable as part of your site.
Font Sources
- Google Fonts - Open-source, OFL-licensed families that are bundled into the theme
- Fontshare - Quality fonts for digital products, free for personal and commercial use
To use a different typeface, drop your own OFL (or otherwise commercially licensed) font files into the theme’s font folder and update the @theme font tokens in src/styles/global.css.
