Name that vibe
What style is this?
The visual styles atlas. Recognize the look, learn its real name and the 3–5 signals that make it, and tell it from its closest look‑alike. Then copy a brief your coding agent can build from.

A governed atlas, not a style dump
There is no honest list of “all design styles.” A style ships here only with a credible source, a terminology-status label, defensible defining signals, and a specimen you can actually recognize. In research now: Swiss Style, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Memphis, Vaporwave, Internet Ugly.
