industrial-brutalist-ui

Builds rigid Swiss print or CRT terminal interfaces with analog grain.

What it is

A design system for interfaces merging Swiss typographic print with military terminal aesthetics. It specifies rigid grids, extreme type scale contrast, one hazard red accent, and simulated analog degradation.

Raw mechanical interfaces fusing Swiss typographic print with military terminal aesthetics. Rigid grids, extreme type scale contrast, utilitarian color, analog degradation effects. For data-heavy dashboards, portfolios,
From the upstream SKILL.md

Why it matters for design

  • One substrate is picked per project, so light and dark never mix.
  • border-radius is rejected entirely, so every corner stays at ninety degrees.
  • Halftone, scanline, and noise filters keep surfaces from reading as flat vector.

What it covers

  • Visual archetypes
  • Typographic architecture
  • Color system
  • Layout and spatial engineering
  • UI components and symbology
  • Textural and post-processing effects

How to install

industrial-brutalist-ui

  1. Clone the repo.

    git clone https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill
  2. Point Codex at the skill file.

    skills/brutalist-skill/SKILL.md
  3. Then describe the UI you want. Codex follows the skill.

How to run it with Codex

  1. Choose one archetype: Swiss industrial print or tactical telemetry CRT terminal.

  2. Macro headings use clamp with negative tracking; metadata uses small uppercase monospace.

  3. Grid gaps of 1px with contrasting backgrounds produce the razor-thin dividing lines.

Every plugin here is free, open source, and links to its real upstream source.
