## What it is
Almond.CSS is a class-less CSS stylesheet collection that makes simple semantic HTML websites look nicer without any JavaScript or classes. It normalizes styles across browsers, stays under 3KB gzipped, and is easily themable via CSS variables and HSL colors.

## Use cases
- style a simple website without writing CSS
- make semantic HTML pages look nicer with just a stylesheet link
- normalize cross-browser default styles
- quickly theme a site with CSS variables
- add lightweight styling to a static site or prototype
- style a demo or documentation page with no build step

## When to choose
- you want zero-JavaScript, class-less styling for semantic HTML
- you need a tiny stylesheet under 3KB gzipped
- you want easy theming through CSS variables
- you are building a simple site, demo, or prototype quickly

## When to avoid
- you need a full component framework with utility classes like Tailwind or Bootstrap
- your project requires complex layouts or component-based design systems
- you need JavaScript-driven interactivity or dark-mode toggles built in
