Pastel quote widget

What a pastel 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 pastel style shapes it

Pastel widgets use pale pink, mint, lilac and butter yellow with very round corners and soft type. They feel light and friendly and work well for moods, music and small daily notes.

• Text: Use a rounded sans in a dark cocoa tone instead of black so it stays soft.

Tips for pastel quote widgets

• Use corner radius of 28 or more.
• Choose text in dark brown or plum, not pure black.
• 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 use more than three tints in one widget.
• Do not use thin hairlines; they look harsh here.
