systematize.scss: normalize styles across browsers
Like normalize.css, but with system fonts.
This project is an SCSS version of normalize.css (8.0.1 at the time of this writing.)
They share the following functionality:
- Normalize styles across browsers
- Preserve useful browser defaults, rather than erasing them
- Correct bugs and common browser inconsistencies
- Improve usability with subtle changes
Additionally, systematize.scss aims to do the following:
- Default to system fonts, and better typography in general
- Be slightly more opinionated while retaining clear focus
