# Brutalist Typography > "Aggressive, unpolished, and unapologetic. Text that demands attention by breaking the rules." ## When to Use Use this sub-style when the user's request matches the aesthetic described above. This is a child reference of the `design-it` skill and is not meant to be triggered directly. ## Core Principles 1. **Rule Breaking**: Text that overlaps, ignores margins, or deliberately clips off the edge of the screen. 2. **Anti-Design**: Intentional use of system fonts or "ugly" fonts (Times New Roman, Courier) in massive sizes. 3. **Harsh Contrast**: Clashing colors or stark monochrome. ## Visual DNA - **Colors**: **Industrial Chic** (Black, White, Red) or aggressive neon clashing (e.g., pure blue on pure red). - **Typography**: System default fonts (`Times New Roman`, `Arial`, `Courier New`) blown up to 150px. - **Styling**: Marquees, blinking text, underlines that cut through descenders. ## Web Implementation - Break the grid. Use absolute positioning or negative margins. - **CSS Example**: ```css body { background-color: #fff; color: #000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; } .brutalist-headline { font-size: 15vw; line-height: 0.7; letter-spacing: -5px; mar

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill brutalist-typography --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
