> Performance is a feature

contradicts with brutalism IMO. like someone already said, brutalism is when form follows function and without much frivolity, and one of the functions of a website is being usable by loading smooth and fast (the wingdings are not it).

this is not necessarily a dunk on you, this is more of a dunk on David Bryant Copeland; I'm really sick of developers and programmers who co-opt design movements or other design-adjacent terms, make up a definition or principles that seem like they could fit but then fail when inspected closely. Someone here already mentioned Gumroad as an example of (neo) brutalist web design; Figma is another great example. The sites here https://brutalistwebsites.com/ are great typography-driven examples. This could even count as brutalist https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/ especially because their goal, as a site running on solar power, is to be as well performing (and low bloat) as possible while still satisfying expectations of functionality.

I think my advice to you would be, look outside of the developer/programmer sphere when building out design. Brutalism is not only "the least lines of code", it's also a lot about intention when it comes to function, and then, form.
