> [!NOTE]
> Quark 2 is Grav 2.0's default theme. It uses [Blades CSS](https://blades.ninja/) (the actively maintained successor to Pico CSS) as a classless foundation, layered with a Cal.com-inspired design system. Full Blades capabilities are documented in the [Official Blades CSS Docs](https://blades.ninja/#docs).

The [Quark 2 theme](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-theme-quark2) is Grav's new default, replacing the long-serving Quark (1.x) theme. It pairs a pure-grayscale palette with **Cal Sans** for display and **Inter** for body text (both hosted locally), Font Awesome 7 icons, and auto/light/dark appearance that persists in the user's browser. The layout system is CSS Grid + modern custom properties rather than a framework grid.

### Headings

Quark 2 uses **Cal Sans** for display headings and treats `h1` / `h2` distinctly — `h1` sits at a lighter display weight while `h2` is bolder and gains a small accent bar to mark section breaks. `h6` is rendered as an uppercase eyebrow label.

# H1 Heading — airy, display weight

## H2 Heading — confident, with accent bar

### H3 Heading — workhorse section heading

#### H4 Heading

##### H5 Heading

###### H6 Heading — uppercase eyebrow

```markdown
# H1 Heading
## H2 Heading
### H3 Heading
#### H4 Heading
##### H5 Heading
###### H6 Heading
```

### Paragraphs

Body copy is set in **Inter** at 16px with a 1.7 line-height and subtle tracking. Links adopt the theme's **accent color** — by default a restrained charcoal, but configurable to any hex via `Themes → Quark 2 → Accent Color`.

Climb leg rub face on everything give attitude nap all day for under the bed. Chase mice attack feet but rub face on everything hopped up on goofballs.

### Alerts

Grav 2.0 replaces the legacy `markdown-notices` plugin with [`github-markdown-alerts`](https://github.com/grav/grav-plugin-github-markdown-alerts), which renders [GitHub-flavored Markdown alerts](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#alerts). Five types are available, each with an accent stripe, icon, and label:

> [!NOTE]
> Highlights information that users should take into account, even when skimming.

> [!TIP]
> Optional information to help a user be more successful.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Crucial information necessary for users to succeed.

> [!WARNING]
> Critical content demanding immediate user attention due to potential risks.

> [!CAUTION]
> Negative potential consequences of an action.
