Red quote widget

What a red 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 red style shapes it

Red widgets are bold and energetic. This recipe sets white text on a deep red with a darker red for tracks; red and black is the classic alternative.

• Text: Use white capitals; labels in pale rose.

Tips for red quote widgets

• Use red as the background and white as text.
• Add black as a third color if needed.
• 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 red text on black for small sizes; it is hard to read.
• Do not mix with pink.
