Implementation notes

About the Mono Brutal CSS button

Mono Brutal uses direct typography, strong borders and deliberately exposed structure. Its square geometry creates a compact, precise control. Its structure comes from a 2px border. The text fx details are included in the copy-paste CSS.

Usage

<button class="btn-mono-brutal">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
Shape: Square
