Sugar.css can be, with exceptions of following classes .s-dark, .s-light, .s-outline, .s-secondary, .s-grid .s-fixed, .s-container, considered as CSS reset. All styles applied by Sugar.css use :where() pseudo-selector, which does not add any specificity to its selector. This way user can overwrite any Sugar.css style without dealing with specificity issues. Also, there is no need to keep Sugar.css in a separate layer and write custom code in another.
Sugar.css tries to be as simple as possible and keep its size down (7.5 kB minified).
Sugar.css is suitable for projects where:
- Design is based on rules rather than feelings.
- Design is less important than readability/accessibility.
- Rules are preferred over exceptions.
Sugar.css can be used as a base even for huge projects. You should then consider not only changing the provided custom properties but also modifying the Sugar.css source code.
