I guess it depends on your definitions for "limited", "global styles", or "scale". :)

https://every-layout.dev prescribes use of a robust global .css stylesheet with global and element selectors, paired with a brilliant and flexible typography-based scale, custom properties (think "design tokens"), and dedicated layout primitives, that combine to do nearly all the styling work a site could need. There's a place for utility classes as needed. By embracing the cascade and leveraging it properly -- ie, its exception-based paradigm -- it hugely reduces the amount of CSS you need to write (which is otherwise so typically bloated, radically over-specified, and brittle). It's hard to overstate how profoundly different and better our use of CSS can be, when it's based on the axioms so beautifully illustrated by https://every-layout.dev.
