Implementation notes

About the Brutal White CSS button

Brutal White uses direct typography, strong borders and deliberately exposed structure. Its rounded corners balance product-friendly softness with a clear boundary. It combines a 3px border and a 150ms hover shift. The interaction stays intentionally restrained.

Usage

<button class="btn-brutal-white">Button</button>

Pair it with the CSS tab above — the class is self-contained.

Before shipping: keep the semantic button element, verify contrast on your actual background and add a visible:focus-visible state. If you retain motion, include a prefers-reduced-motion override.

Built with: HTML + plain CSS
