Raw, unpolished web design that deliberately breaks aesthetic conventions. Thick borders, clashing colors, visible structure — ugly by design.
Pioneered by: Pascal Deville / Brutalist Websites

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
