🖤 Neo-Brutalist

Thick black outlines, hard shadows and type that refuses to whisper. Neo-Brutalist turns your profile into a zine page that looks deliberately unpolished, in the best way.

A closer look

A ticker tape runs across the top of the page, a yellow Creator Profile sticker sits above your name, and your avatar is a bold gradient tile with a hard black shadow. Your interests become chunky outlined pills in pink, blue and yellow, and your stats sit in a ruled grid with each number in its own colour. Journeys are bright gradient blocks (purple, pink, orange, electric blue) with little Active and Chapter tags, and in the Feed every card gets a yellow header strip and monospace type, like a page torn out of a zine.

Made for

It goes everywhere you go

A theme isn't just your profile background. Your Journeys show up in the Neo-Brutalist style in other people's Feed and in Explore too, so everything you post carries your look.

Tips for your photos

Neo-Brutalist loves contrast, so everyday photos with clear shapes work best: a desk from above, a sketch on white paper, a half-built shelf against a plain wall. You don't need perfect light; the thick frames make even a quick phone snap look intentional. Keep your Journey titles short and punchy, because the type is big and loud.
