Congrats on that 1997 palette and design. Does anyone know the name of that aesthetic?

  Some people have called it brutalist web design[1]. Sites with minimalistic design whose functionality is transparent to the user. It is similar to how the brutalist architectural style doesn’t hide the underlying materials behind a facade (the word “brutalist” comes from the French translation of “raw concrete”), and emphasizes making the purpose of the building visible. Another good example would be craigslist. [1] https://brutalist-web.design https://brutalist-web.design
