This project uses the best elements from my previous projects:

https://github.com/vladocar/Basic-CSS-Typography-Reset
https://github.com/vladocar/infinity-css-grid
https://github.com/vladocar/Simple-Button

:root{
--c1:#0074d9;
--c2:#eee;
--c3:#fff;
--c4:#000;
--c5:#fff;
}

By default are 8px, use --rc: 0px; if you don't like round corners.

:root{
--rc: 8px;
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
	:root {
        --c2:#333;
        --c3:#1e1f20;
        --c4:#fff;
	}
}

Use the HTML5 tags section and nested section to make flex grid.

<section>
  	<section> 1 </section>
	<section> 2 </section>
	<section> 3 </section>
</section>
<section>
	<section> 1 </section>
	<section> 2 </section>
	<section> 3 </section>
	<section> 4 </section>
</section>

Use the HTML5 tags selection and article to make cards.

<section>
    <article> 1 </article>
    <article> 2 </article>
    <article> 3 </article>
</section>

Demo: https://vladocar.github.io/Basic.css/cards.html

Simply download and personalize the basic.css file.

Or

npm i @vladocar/basic.css

Instead of using CSS Reset you could just Set the basic css formatting and styling. You could even make some grids with the HTML5 tags. Naturally if you want to build something more complex you should use CSS classes and this project works great in combination with other CSS frameworks.
