Questions
How big is the Serial PCB?
It measures 16 × 16 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Serial use?
13 parts, built around the CH340K, TS5A23159DGSR and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Serial KiCad files?
From the McbeEringi/pcb-stuff repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is proj/usb/serial/serial.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Serial design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
