Neo-brutalism

Brutalism's roughness turned into a decorative style: thick black outlines, hard offset shadows with no blur, and loud flat colour.

Neo-brutalism: a landing page on loud yellow. A pink navigation bar with a thick black border and a hard offset shadow holds the foundry name, three links and a cart badge with a drawn cart and a count. A black headline, a paragraph and a pressed teal button with a drawn arrow sit at the left; four cards run off the right edge, one flagged NEW, one flagged SOLD OUT with its name struck through, each with a letterform, a weight count and a price. A rotated sticker with a drawn download mark sits at the foot. Every border is black and every shadow is offset with no blur.

Neo-brutalism, a breakdown: the page with its own margins ruled in the mark colour, the navigation bar boxed, the recipe as declared and as measured on the file beneath, and the page's colours swatched with their shares.

Where it came from

Late 2010s onward. It shares brutalism's vocabulary and none of its argument: this one is styled on purpose and is comfortable being pretty.
