design-isms is a visual reference of design movements and interaction patterns, from Minimalism to Bauhaus and Brutalism. Browse it on the web, or let a coding agent query palettes, typography, layout guidance and code examples through MCP.

Is it related to this site?

Yes — the scroll and card motion here are design-isms effects adapted to this site's tone.
