About


Neubrutalism, also known as Neobrutalism, is a hybrid of traditional web design brutalism and more modern typography, illustration, and animation standards.

5 Main Characteristics


1. Quirky Typefaces

Neubrutal UI's core design pattern is the use of supersized quirky fonts alongside sans serif body text to provide that playful look and feel to the product.

Example:

Parallel | Your direct path to hired.

2. High Contrast Strokes

High contrast strokes (#000) are used to define and separate UI elements, resulting in a well-composed browsing experience.

Example:

Babylone - Réputation et Thought Leadership

3. Hard Shadows

Drop shadows without blur (X=4, Y= 4, Blur=0) are another distinctive feature of Neubrutalism UI design, providing a high contrast retro look to cards and buttons.

4. Vibrant Colors

A vibrant and popping color theme is considered to maintain the high contrast and produce a fun and engaging user experience.

5. Playful Graphics
