Minimalism
Cut element count to the bone; whitespace and type do the talking.
What it feels like
Almost nothing on the page — wide margins, a few black-and-white words, quiet like a luxury magazine spread.
Why it works
After you delete everything optional, rhythm and type become the design; light to load, strong presence.
How to tell AI
Minimal: large whitespace, very few elements, limited monochrome palette, hierarchy via weight and spacing only—no decorative art or card walls.
Signals
- · Large negative space
- · Very few UI elements
- · Restricted palette (often mono)
- · Typography as the main decoration
Don't confuse with
Flat can still be dense; brutalism is rough on purpose; iOS HIG is a full product language, not a sparse magazine page.
