What is the Minimal Dark Template?
The Minimal Dark template strips away all distractions and puts the focus squarely on your title. A near-black background (#0f0f0f), centered white text, and a thin horizontal accent bar in your brand color above the title. That's it.
The title is set at 52px, 700 weight — the largest of all OGPixel templates — making it incredibly readable even on small mobile previews. The subtitle at 22px in muted gray (#888) provides secondary context without competing with the title.
This template follows the design principle of typographic hierarchy: one dominant element (your title), one supporting element (subtitle), and nothing else. It's the OG image equivalent of a well-formatted blog post headline.

Customization Guide
Accent Color: The thin horizontal bar above the title is your only color element. Make it count — it should match your brand or website theme. Blue for tech, green for finance, pink for creative, orange for energy.
Title length: This template handles longer titles well thanks to the 52px size and centered layout. Up to ~60 characters works great. For very long titles, the text will wrap naturally.
Subtitle: Works best as a one-sentence summary or teaser. Keep it under 80 characters. On mobile, the subtitle may be truncated in some platform previews, so put the most important words first.
