About this template

BRUTUS is a fully-featured, issue-based magazine template built on brutalist design principles.

For studios, publishers, and independent creators who understand that editorial design is about conviction—not decoration.

The core idea: magazines organized by issue, not reverse chronology.

Most magazine templates are blog templates with a different name. BRUTUS is built around how magazines actually work: issues as containers, categories as hierarchy, archives as navigation. Led by typographic grids and clear structure.

What's inside:

Issue-based CMS — articles connect to issues; readers navigate by issue, not just by date

3D magazine covers — fully editable, CMS-driven; titles, numbers, and cover colors update straight from the CMS

5 sample issues, 20 sample articles — full editorial content, ready to study or replace

3 editorial categories — Editorial, Raw Cuts, The Edit (fully customizable via CMS)

Complete CMS setup — Articles, Issues, Authors, and Categories collections

Author profiles — roles, bios, and social links

Image + video covers — still or dynamic

Article pages — reading time, issue reference, prev/next navigation

Archive — full article index with dates and issue labels

Search & filtering — readers find articles fast

Light & dark mode — brutalist in either

Live article ticker, newsletter signup, about page

Responsive — desktop, tablet, mobile

Make it yours in minutes: the magazine title is fully editable — swap BRUTUS for your own name, covers included.

Built for: independent magazine founders, design studios building an editorial presence, architecture practices sharing thought leadership—publishers who believe structure is a design material.

Customize everything through Framer's design tools and CMS. Connect your newsletter. Publish to your domain. No coding required.
