Japandi quote widget

What a Japandi 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 Japandi style shapes it

Japandi widgets mix Japanese and Scandinavian ideas: stone and clay colors, ink-black accents, off-center layouts and a lot of deliberate empty space.

• Text: Use a quiet serif and place text off-center with space around it.

How to make a Japandi quote widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #EDE8DF and the corner radius to 8.
2. Add a Text layer and type your quote. Set the font to Noto Serif JP, the size to 22 and the color to #26231F.

4. Add a second Text layer with just an opening quotation mark at size 54 in #9C4A3C.
5. Add the author on its own Text layer at size 12 in #8C8478.
6. Add the Japandi ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: one vermilion dot in the bottom right, like a seal, and a single short ink line at the bottom left.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

• Break lines by meaning, not wherever the text happens to wrap.
• Always credit the author on a separate, smaller line.
• Do not center and fill the layout.
• Do not use glossy or bright colors.
