Brutalist Stamp
A bold offset-shadow stamp button straight from the brutalist playbook — hard edges, monospace label "DISMISS", press collapses into the shadow.
Brutalist Stamp the 17th of 18 designs in the 18 CSS Close Buttons collection. The design is implemented in pure CSS — no JavaScript required. Copy the HTML and CSS panels below into your project. Because the demo is pure CSS, it works in any framework or templating engine you happen to use. The design honours prefers-reduced-motion and uses real semantic markup, so it ships accessibility-ready out of the box.
