The Lovelace theme is a brutalist, nearly no-CSS archive theme that embraces browser defaults for maximum speed and simplicity. It renders in monospace with minimal styling, and is named after Ada Lovelace.
You can switch to the Lovelace theme—and tweak any of the settings below—from your archive settings.
