Dark academia quote widget

What a dark academia 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 dark academia style shapes it

Dark academia widgets look like a leather-bound notebook: deep brown and black grounds, parchment text, a gold accent and classical serif type suited to quotes and reading goals.

• Text: Use a classical serif in parchment and set labels in small capitals.

How to make a dark academia quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #1F1813 and the corner radius to 8. Add a 1-point outline.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Cormorant Garamond, the size to 22 and the color to #E8DCC4.
3. Press return where you want the line to break, and set the alignment to center.
4. Add a second Text layer with just an opening quotation mark at size 54 in #B08D57.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #9C8B72.
6. Add the dark academia ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a thin brass outline inset 7 points, and a short burgundy ribbon (a 10 × 34 rectangle) hanging from the top right like a bookmark.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
