# 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. ## Source Distilled from [Leonxlnx/taste-skill](https://github.com/Leonxlnx/taste-skill) — `skills/brutalist-skill/SKILL.md` §2.1 (Swiss Industrial Print). For decks that lean into the dark CRT mode, see `design-templates/html-ppt-taste-brutalist/`. ## Hard rules - **Substrate:** unbleached newsprint `#F4F4F0` or `#EAE8E3`. Foreground `#050505` carbon ink. - **Accent:** ONE color — aviation/hazard red `#E61919`. Used on dividing rules, strikes, alerts. Never as a fill on large surfaces. - **Display type:** heavy neo-grotesque (Archivo Black / Inter ExtraBold/Black / Neue Haas Grotesk Black). Fluid scale `clamp(4rem, 10vw, 15rem)`. Tracking `-0.04em`. Leading `0.88`. Uppercase only. - **Micro type:** monospace (JetBrains Mono / IBM Plex Mono). Fixed `10–13px`. Tracking `0.1em`. Uppercase. Used for navigation, metadata, captions, coordin

Swiss industrial-print web prototype. Newsprint canvas, monolithic black grotesque, viewport-bleeding numerals, hairline grid dividers, hazard-red accent, ASCII syntax decoration. Distilled from Leonxlnx/taste-skill `brutalist-skill` (Swiss Industrial Print mode).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill web-prototype-taste-brutalist --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 nexu-io/open-design, a repository with 83,577 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.
