Recommended font used by Creation UI is Manrope  for sans-serif and Fira Code  for monospace. The caveat is that you need to set it yourself in your project.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Manrope:wght@200..800&display=swap');
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code&display=swap');
 
@theme {
  /* ...other things from your theme config */
  --font-sans: 'Manrope', 'sans-serif';
  --font-mono: 'Fira Code', 'monospace';
}

What else is I need to know?

This is the content of index.css imported to your project as

@import '@creation-ui/react/index.css';

This allows to reset input styles and use some helper classes like micro-interactions

.reset-input,
.reset-input:focus-visible {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  outline: none;
  border: none;
  background: transparent;
  font-size: inherit;
  font-family: inherit;
  color: inherit;
  line-height: inherit;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  width: auto;
  box-shadow: none;
  border-radius: 0;
}
 
.form-color {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  appearance: none;
  background-color: transparent;
  cursor: pointer;
}
 
.form-color::-webkit-color-swatch {
  @apply rounded-md;
  border: none;
}
 
.form-color::-moz-color-swatch {
  @apply rounded-md;
  border: none;
}
 
.reset-select select {
  appearance: none !important;
  -webkit-appearance: none !important;
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
}
 
.micro-interactions {
  @apply transition-all duration-300 ease-in-out;
}
