This theme upgrades basic ggplot2 themes. It is particularly suitable for academic publications that require serif fonts for labels and arrowed axes.

Default ggplot2 theme 

iris %>% 
  ggplot(aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, colour = Species)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(title = "Without my theme")

With my theme 

iris %>% 
   ggplot(aes(x = Sepal.Length, y = Sepal.Width, colour = Species)) +
   geom_point() +
   labs(title = "With my theme") +
   ggserif()
