Web Prototype Taste Brutalist

When you need a web prototype that looks like it was printed on unbleached newsprint with a 20-ton letterpress, this is the move. It commits hard to the Swiss industrial print aesthetic: viewport-bleeding grotesque type, hazard red hairline rules, monospace metadata strips, and CSS grid dividers rendered at mathematical 1px precision. Built for agency portfolios, manifestos, editorial layouts, anything that should feel like a physical artifact rather than a friendly SaaS landing page. Distilled from the Leonxlnx taste-skill repo, specifically the light mode of the brutalist skill. No curves, no gradients, no compromise. The pre-flight checklist alone is worth reading before you start.

Web Prototype — Industrial Brutalist (Swiss Print)

For briefs that ask for "editorial", "newspaper", "agency portfolio", "Swiss design", "manifesto site", or anywhere the goal is to project rigor and physicality rather than friendliness. This skill commits to ONE substrate (light Swiss print) — never mix with the dark CRT mode in the same artifact.
