styleguide

rené uses elements and class names as simple yet effective building blocks. it's about getting more done with less. it provides the essentials, helping designers and developers to create diverse designs from minimal components.

typography

rené's typography system is built around rem units. this means that all font sizes are relative to the root element. it allows for consistency in design, making it look good on all devices. also, using rem units can enhance accessibility, as it respects user preferences for default font sizes.

the following example shows how typography is used in a relative way

h1 {
font-size: 5.28rem; /* 6rem * 0.88 */
line-height: 0.95;
}

colors

rené uses semantic colour naming. this means colours are named for their purpose, not their look. so, "error" or "error-red" could be names for colours used in messages.

this makes the stylesheet easier to understand and maintain, and reduces confusion in design.
