What a flat 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 flat style shapes it

Flat widgets use blocks of solid color with white text and simple shapes. There is no depth at all, which keeps them crisp at any size and quick to build.

Text: Use white text on the color block with a paler tint for labels.
