Scandinavian quote widget
A Scandinavian quote widget displays a line you want to see every day. Light wood tones, soft greys and quiet, practical layouts. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.
What a Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian style shapes it
Scandinavian widgets follow Nordic interiors: white and pale grey, a touch of light wood or dusty blue, simple sans type and nothing unnecessary. Calm, warm and practical.
- Text: Use a plain regular sans in charcoal and avoid capitals.

Tips for Scandinavian quote widgets
- Add one warm wood color to an otherwise cool palette.
- Keep layouts left-aligned and tidy.
- 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 saturated colors.
- Do not decorate; function is the style.
