General design
The design is based on straight lines and boxes so it looks very condensed and neat. The neatness can be also seen in the way the author put the individual posts and widgets into separated tabs.
Overall, this WordPress blog focus on how to show your blog symmetrically and legibly.
Other elements
The grey pattern background takes the spotlight so people are attracted by it first, and then the brown minor elements will be after. These neutral colors make Cude Blog so classic and "basic". You can change some color sections, but these colors are unchangeable. So you have to keep the default style that they create.
The use of typefaces is quite safe. San-serif and Roboto are the common fonts for a readable website. Yet these fonts look quite similar to each other so I think they are a bit boring.
I love the sticky menu and the full-width hero image, but what I love most is the post listing design. On the archive page, no matter which sizes the featured images have, they are automatically displayed in the same-size horizontal tabs. That design keeps the neatness and balance of the whole page.

On the single post page or other inner pages, the featured images appear on the header, still full-width with a title lying on it. That helps to attract people and make use of the space. In addition, the line spacing is wide enough, giving a sense of "flow"
Finally, there are three default footer columns to add widgets. The footer lies in a full-width dark background. This default background looks sharp and unique but also quite dark.
