i was looking at this earlier and thought it would make for a great starter kit for a personal design system. it has enough meat to it to feel like you're not starting from scratch, but not so much that you'd be fighting the defaults very much. i find the choice of hsl colors a little odd (and font weights a little light, as others have mentioned), but overall, it's a solid base. and it accounts for every html tag, not just a somewhat arbitrary selection of them.
i've been trialing some css frameworks (bootstrap, bulma, semantic/fomantic, tailwind) for a side project, and i dislike each for various reasons. bootstrap and tailwind encourage class soup, while bulma encourages div soup. semantic/fomantic have a pretty dated looking design language, though the semantics (ha) are much better.
so that led me to thinking about creating my own design system with something like almond.css as a base, so i don't have to deal with the analysis paralysis that comes with bootstrapping from scratch.
