magically playful, yet simple styling. all in one file.
magick.css is a minimalistic, (mostly) classless CSS framework that is designed to be easy to use and easy to understand. It is contained in a single file, and every choice is commented. The goal is to achieve an elegant, but magically playful look, while maximizing readability and the ability to convey information; somewhat akin to the notes of a wizard.
The framework retains its beauty and functionality across all devices and screen sizes, and works entirely without JavaScript. It is inspired by LaTeX, old school TTRPG rulebooks, CSS frameworks like concrete.css and Tufte CSS and the "usability as design" ethic of brutalism.

magick.css is built with normalize.css. While it will look 90% correct without, it is recommended to use normalize.css.
The easiest way to check out magick.css for your own project is to add it from
a CDN. Just add these two lines to your html <head>:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/normalize.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/magick.css">You could also just download the magick.css file from this repo, and include
it into your html <head> as you normally would:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/magick.css">You could also add magick.css to your JS project like this:
npm install normalize.css magick.cssAnd import them in your code:
import 'normalize.css'
import 'magick.css'
