Coordinator lesson from the art-deco lane: `field.text` attribute access on a
bare-string seed/settings value errors the whole block to empty (dead band).
eyebrow/headline/subheadline/description now use `|get:"text"|default:` so the
hero accepts {text,...} objects OR bare strings — same fix art-deco shipped in
f2c8b36. cta/logoText object fields are builtin-typed and stay direct.
Also audited per coordinator: no ::icon:: shortcodes in any template/block
(only CSS ::-webkit pseudo-elements); master_pages.json untouched this lane.

Brutalist
A loud, honest theme built on chunky black borders, candy-bright accents, and hard offset shadows that snap on hover. Oversized grotesque headings sit on a strict grid, with structure left exposed on purpose. It has the sticker energy of a creative studio that wants its work to shout. The look is playful, and it stays legible.
Good for
We built Brutalist for studios and makers who want a confident, unmissable site. Treat these as starting points, not limits. If the mood fits your brand, use it:
- Design and creative studios
- Indie software and product launches
- Architecture and interior firms
- Art galleries and zine shops
- Portfolios that want to stand out
What you get
- Four color presets, each with a tuned light mode and a tuned dark mode: Concrete & Cadmium, Hazard, Riso, and Acid.
- Space Grotesk and Archivo Black for headings, Inter for body, and IBM Plex Mono for details, all bundled. Fonts stay admin-controlled, so you can swap them from the typography settings.
- Four persona blocks: a project ledger for indexing work, a sticker wall of pinned badges, a changelog for release notes, and a spec sheet for hard facts.
- A demo site that installs when you activate the theme: a home page, an about page, a short blog, and a contact page whose form emails your admins.
- Every core block restyled to match, plus a themed login screen and a themed 404 page.
Install
Install from the BlockNinja registry, then pick a preset and assign your fonts in the admin. Activate the demo content if you want a fully built starting point.
