Marx

The classless CSS reset (perfect for Communists).

No JavaScript. No Classes. Just raw CSS.

Is Marx for you?

Marx is a CSS stylesheet to be used in any projects (namely small ones). If you don't need the weight of heavy frameworks or you would just like to make an edible website quickly, Marx is perfect for you. It can be used out of the minified box but it can also be customised and styled through the use of HTML classes.

Key features

Built atop of Sanitize.css, meaning all browsers render consistently.
Responsive and mobile-friendly.
Clean, beautiful typography.
Forms, tables, buttons and navigation.
Zero classes, so it already works with your HTML.
Drop-dead gorgeous.
It just works.
