New Theme: Hero
Have some featured content that desperately needs saving? Have no fear, our new theme Hero is here!
Hero’s featured content-rich Front Page template
Designed by antthemes, Hero is a dark and minimal theme that features the content you care about most with a Front Page template that’s packed with the promotional power of our Featured Post Slider, a custom tagline, and three featured post callouts. Hero also comes packed with sidebar and footer widget areas galore, and a full width page template for those times that you just want to eliminate some of the distractions.
Read more about its features on the Theme Showcase or dive right into previewing it on your blog from Appearance → Themes.

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.

Let us know how the torture test goes. We’re always happy to hear how we can improve themes.

Very smart theme and would be spot on for a photography blog. Nice.

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 black is great! I could see how photographers would like this.

It’s so beautiful. Good for you!

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..

I really love the colours used in this theme. They really set off the layout. Kudos to WordPress.com for making it available and to Antthemes for the great design.

Awesome! It’s a little too dark for my taste but it’s a striking theme.

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.

Thank you for the compliments.
Hero is a free theme that is available to any WordPress.com user through Appearance → Themes, and to any WordPress.org user through the WordPress.org theme directory.
The snowflakes you see are seasonally available for free to any WordPress.com user. You can read more about them in Matt’s post: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/oh-my-snow/
