Raw, unpolished web design that deliberately breaks aesthetic conventions. Thick borders, clashing colors, visible structure — ugly by design.

The signature details that make Brutalism instantly recognisable.
Thick visible borders (4–8px) and explicit structure
Clashing or deliberately ugly color combinations
Impact or other display fonts at large sizes
Asymmetric, broken grid layouts
Zero polish — the rawness IS the aesthetic
Brutalism works best for these industries
