Are there any “high-density” CSS frameworks?


Hi, I'm looking for a CSS framework for an industrial/embedded control application. All I can find are CSS frameworks with large spacing inside and between elements. Unfortunately that leaves a lot of unused whitespace. I'm looking for something with a more "technical" touch, with high information density. The closest thing I found is flakes (https://getflakes.com/), which has a modest look but still isn't very "dense". Are there alternatives?

I don't know about CSS frameworks. However, there are web component libraries that match your description perfectly.

I absolutely love:

- SAP's UI5[0]

- VMWare's Clarity Design[1]

Don't worry: You do not need to set up npm projects if you are satisfied with what is available out of the box. It's a matter of including some JavaScript and using the custom HTML5 tags described in the docs alongside your standard HTML.

Edit: Updated UI5 URL to point to the web components docs
