Notable examples include Eduardo Duccigne, Valeriia Kostenko, Manner, Bajgart Design Office and Maria Vareva. These are just a few of the 38 black and white design websites in this collection, each selected for strong visual design and execution.
Frequently used typefaces include Neue Montreal, Switzer, Inter and Suisse. Typography plays a key role in defining the black and white aesthetic across these design websites.
