Finance archetype theme — theme_finance • ggconsulting

Preset path through ct_theme() tuned for finance reports and pitch books: humanist sans typography ("Source Sans 3" with an Inter / Helvetica Neue / Arial fallback chain), no gridlines, y-axis ticks to read levels against, and denser defaults (density = "tight", context = "report") so plots read closer to a printed page than a slide.

Usage

theme_finance(main_color = NULL, density = "tight", context = "report", ...)

Arguments

main_color: Routed into the theme geom ink slot for from_theme() linkage. NULL (default) falls back to finance_classic[1]. Title colour is a fixed neutral near-black.
density: Passed to ct_theme(). Defaults to "tight" — finance reports favour denser layouts than presentation slides.
context: Passed to ct_theme(). Defaults to "report" — drives a smaller base_size and tighter plot.margin.
...: Forwarded to ct_theme() — e.g. base_size, or an explicit palette override.

Value

A ggplot2::theme() object.

Details

Sans rather than serif follows the institutional chart packs the archetype is drawn from, which set their exhibits in a humanist sans and reserve serif for body text. Pair the bare axis with ct_finish(mirror_y = TRUE) to repeat the ticks on the right edge, which is how those references let the eye track a level across a wide panel without gridlines.

Examples

library(ggplot2)
p <- ggplot(economics, aes(date, unemploy)) +
  geom_line() +
  theme_finance()
