What defines the Brutalist aesthetic

The Brutalist aesthetic is defined by a specific set of visual signals: raw exposed concrete, massive blocky forms, hard shadows, monochrome with single bold accent, oversized graphic typography, industrial mood. Strong aesthetic prompts name these signals directly and skip the literal subject - the AI fills in the rest.
