Raw structure: hard borders, flat color, loud type, zero decoration.
Principles#
Thick 2px borders, offset hard shadows (4px, no blur), uppercase black-weight type and clashing primaries used sincerely. Brutalism fails halfway — commit or choose minimalism.
Applied#
- Apply it to your next feature, not a mythical redesign
- Encode the decision as a token or component
- Write one paragraph of team guidance
- Audit an existing page against the principle
