Simple and Effective

So Much Wanted to use Block Theme but they were not ready i suppose. After using ‘Spiel’ on my website i can say it is the Best Block theme available for Non Tech Newbies right Now- Simple and effective, great typography. My Only concern is ” Whether Auttomattic will keep this theme updated and will be adding new user friendly fetures to it.
