PaperCSS – The Less Formal CSS Framework

In plain words

PaperCSS is a CSS framework designed to create a less formal, sketch-like aesthetic for web projects. Available as version 1.9.2, it can be installed via NPM or linked through a CDN without downloading. The framework provides pre-built styling components for developers building websites with a casual, hand-drawn visual approach. It caters to developers seeking an alternative to traditional formal CSS frameworks.
