BF was created in 2016 as a response to the newly emerging brutalist web design trend. Upon researching Material Design, the raw concrete nature of brutalism was stumbled upon, and so the inception of BF was born.
Since then, several related projects have stemmed from BF. These include Blueprint Grid (a CSS responsive grid framework), Brutal CMS (a flat-file content management system (currently in BETA)), and an e-book.
When dealing with brutalism, we like to think of it as being CRUDE:
- Cynically confrontational
- Roughly raw and rugged
- Uncomfortably ugly and unpolished
- Deliberately daring and damaging
- Extremely exasperated and embittered
