In simple English

This is a collection of design rules and styles for building websites. You link one stylesheet file directly in your HTML code. You do not need to install complex tools or run a compiler before you can see your site. It uses modern browser features to handle layouts without extra scripts. It costs nothing to download and use on your own projects.

What it is

Yeti is the successor to the Foundation for Sites CSS framework, built around modern web standards and zero build steps. It provides ready-made layouts, components, and design tokens that work directly in current browsers.

What it is good for

Designers and solo builders who want to style a website quickly using plain HTML without setting up a build process.
