SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Designing data-heavy dashboards, portfolios, or editorial sites with a distinctive industrial character is difficult when default UI patterns produce generic consumer-grade results. This Skill provides a complete design system for building interfaces that fuse Swiss typographic print with military terminal aesthetics. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dual Visual Archetypes: Choose between Swiss Industrial Print (light, paper-based) or Tactical Telemetry (dark, CRT terminal) modes with strict consistency rules. - Typographic Architecture: Implements extreme scale contrast with fluid macro-typography via CSS clamp() and monospaced micro-typography for data readouts. - Analog Degradation Effects: Applies halftone dithering, CRT scanlines, and SVG noise filters to simulate physical media. - Use Case: Build a data-dense aerospace dashboard with monospace telemetry readouts, hazard-red accents, visible grid compartmentalization, and scanline overlays that resembles a declassified military terminal. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to design a landing page or dashboard using the industrial brutalist style, specifying either the Swiss print or tactical terminal mode.

Frequently Asked Questions about industrial-brutalist-ui

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a brutalist website design with CSS?▼

Use strict CSS Grid layouts with 1px gap dividers, heavy sans-serif typography scaled with clamp(), and a limited palette of off-white, carbon black, and hazard red. Reject border-radius, gradients, and shadows to enforce mechanical rigidity.

What fonts work best for terminal-style UI design?▼

Monospace fonts like JetBrains Mono, IBM Plex Mono, Space Mono, and VT323 work best for terminal interfaces. Use them at small fixed sizes (10-14px) with generous letter-spacing and uppercase casing for telemetry and metadata.

How do I add CRT scanline effects to a webpage?▼

Apply a repeating-linear-gradient background with alternating transparent and semi-transparent dark rows every 2-4 pixels. Combine with a low-opacity SVG noise filter on the root element for unified analog grain.

Can I mix light and dark modes in brutalist design?▼

No, this design system requires choosing one substrate per project. Swiss Industrial Print uses light paper backgrounds, while Tactical Telemetry uses dark CRT backgrounds; mixing them breaks visual coherence.

When should I avoid brutalist UI design?▼

Avoid it for consumer products requiring conventional usability patterns, soft aesthetics, or accessibility-first audiences. The extreme density, tiny monospace text, and harsh contrast suit editorial, portfolio, and data-dashboard contexts instead.
