Art Deco quote widget
An Art Deco quote widget displays a line you want to see every day. Ivory, black and gold with fine symmetrical line work. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What an Art Deco quote widget shows
A quote widget is pure typography, so the style shows more clearly here than anywhere else. Line length, line spacing and the size of the quotation mark do the design work.
It is plain text you type yourself: free, offline and with no permission. Change the words whenever you like.
How the Art Deco style shapes it
Art Deco widgets take the look of 1920s posters and hotel signage: thin gold lines, strict symmetry, tall elegant capitals and ivory or black grounds.
- Text: Use tall thin capitals with wide letter spacing and center every line.

Tips for Art Deco quote widgets
- Center the layout and mirror the left and right sides.
- Use gold only for lines, never for large fills.
- Keep quotes under about 12 words so the text can stay large.
- Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
- Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
- Do not left-align; Deco depends on symmetry.
- Do not use heavy bold type.
