Spectre CSS Introduction

Spectre is a lightweight, responsive, and modern CSS framework that allows for speedier development and extensibility. It provides the essential elements and typographic stylings, as well as a responsive layout system based on the flexbox feature. It overcomes numerous issues we had previously, such as cross-browser compatibility. The webpages are currently optimized for all browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) and screen sizes (Desktop, Tablets, Phablets, and Phones).

Spectre is a side project born out of years of CSS development on a huge web service. Only modern base styles, responsive layout systems, CSS components, and utilities are included in Spectre, which may be customized for your project using the Sass/Scss compiler. The use of Spectre.css is absolutely free.
