## What it is
Tacit is a classless CSS framework that styles plain, standards-compliant HTML5 pages without requiring any CSS classes. You include a single stylesheet and standard HTML elements like tables, forms, and headings render with a clean, responsive design.

## Use cases
- make a plain HTML page look nice without writing CSS
- style a simple web service with zero design skills
- add responsive styling to HTML5 pages with one stylesheet link
- render forms and tables attractively using only semantic HTML
- prototype web pages without learning a CSS framework
- give documentation or static pages a clean default look

## When to choose
- you want zero CSS classes and minimal setup
- your HTML is standards-compliant HTML5
- you need a quick, decent-looking default style for simple sites or prototypes

## When to avoid
- you need complex layouts, grids, or custom design systems
- you want a component library with JavaScript widgets
- you need fine-grained control over theming and branding
