Hero is a very attractive theme with many features I’m looking for so I’m off to torture test it in my test blog. 😉 I’m still looking for a responsive width theme that suits me. I’m not into dark themes but this one has a custom background so I haven’t ruled it out.

Great concept for a theme that showcases select content. Wish it came with a white background though; white text on a black background is straining to the eyes. Thanks for the new theme, anyway. 🙂
Cheers!

The cool thing is the promotional callout areas: it allows to group content and direct attention, which is useful when there are many posts.
Could we do something about the background though? have a white option and it becomes a great magazine theme too..

Hero looks really attractive. This is a real eye catching dark theme. Does it cost anything to use this? It is nice to see the new up-to-date themes WordPress is coming out with to keep the audience interested. it is interesting seeing the snowflakes come down from the screen. This is really appealing to the audience and it grabs the readers attention to go on to your blog. Is this free also? I agree with timethief- this is a really attractive theme.
