About The Brutalist
The Brutalist is a raw, typographically bold Jekyll theme inspired by newspaper front pages, Swiss punk posters, and brutalist web design.
Design Principles
- No decoration without purpose — borders are structural, not decorative
- Typography does the heavy lifting — Bebas Neue headlines, Space Grotesk body
- One accent color — tabloid red (
#e8001a), used sparingly for maximum impact - Inverse links — links invert to white-on-black on hover; no color, just contrast
Configuration
brutalist:
invert: false # true = white-on-black mode
rule_weight: "heavy" # light | medium | heavy
uppercase: true # uppercase all headings
