an early press
Franz
For the journal you mean to hand down. Rag paper on an oak desk, lamp-black ink and rubric red, a blackletter title and the day set as a penwork initial. What you keep comes back as vine-bordered leaves, title pages and colophons with a printer's mark.
Free while Haumm is in early access. After that, every journal has White and Night, joining the paid plan adds three looks you choose, and more are a few dollars each, yours to keep, even on the free plan. You can try any look on your own pages first.
Open Haumm →In the app: Settings → Preferences → Appearance → Franz, then Light, Dark or Match my device, which turns with your phone or computer. On a computer, the look's name at the top of the journal opens the same choices. It follows your account to every device.

and dark
Franz, dark
Franz by lamplight: lamp-black paper, cream words, rubric red and lapis blue lifted for the dark. The same blackletter title, penwork date and red pilcrows, and the same wall in Commonplace.

Set like an early press.
(one page, in the app.)
A page in Franz, drawn by the Haumm app with a made-up journal, and what makes it Franz.
- 1
The penwork date
The day in red in a double-ruled blue box with pen-flourished corners.
- 2
A ruled frame
Inset on the page with red quatrefoil corners, on a computer.
- 3
A fleuron
On the title's rule, kept on the phone.
- 4
A red pilcrow
Before each block's label, like its Bookmarks' month heads.
- 5
Penwork to play
A box ruled twice in lapis; the sign and the played wave in red.


What you keep, printed.
(leaves, frames, colophons.)
Keep a line, a photo or a voice note and it comes back as a vine-bordered leaf, a penwork initial, a title page, a lapis frame or a colophon with a printer's mark. Re-roll for another.






Not just the page.
