# New WordPress Theme: Sans–serif Racer

[![Logo: Sans-serif Racer WordPress theme](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/11/sans-serif-racer-logo2.png)](https://kaspars.net/WordPressTheme/SansserifRacer "Logo: Sans-serif Racer WordPress theme")

**Update (August 26, 2013):** This theme is no longer being updated and it is not compatible with latest version of WordPress.

**Update** (October 15, 2008): Sans-serif Racer has been updated with improved CSS (and fixed IE7-only bug), enhanced design and support for the default image alignment classes. <a href="" title="Download simple WordPress theme">Get it here</a>. **If you are updating**, be sure to back-up the old theme files.

While tweaking the *Times Racer* theme which is currently used in this blog, I was fascinated by how the sans-serif typeface and the aligned positioning of different elements made it look really harmonic and solid.

After hours of PHP, HTML and CSS trickery, the new theme was named **Sans-serif Racer** and ready for the release. It features unique **border elements**, **light background shading** and, similarly to Agneka Simple, **one base color** which can be easily adjusted.
