Minimal CSS framework that styles semantic HTML with almost no classes.
Why we recommend it
Write clean semantic markup and it looks reasonable immediately — ideal for prototypes, internal tools and documentation where design time isn't the priority.
Strengths
- Near-zero classes needed — styles semantic elements directly
- Under 10KB minified
- Dark mode included by default
Keep in mind
- Limited customisation without overriding heavily
- Not intended for distinctive brand work
- Small component set
