GB Live here
Inspired by brutalism and socialist-modernist architecture, ePBT Brutalist features a muted color scheme reminiscing the shades of concrete. Alphas bring forth the pale blocks of Russian governmental structures built before the eventual fall of the regime, mods were given a darker tone of grey, and the base color for the accents is the equivalent of watery asphalt. Also, its two novelty sets feature characteristics and iconography from the extended world of béton brut.
Additional information: Even though the set's name and main theme focuses on brutalism as an architectural theme and aesthetic practice, part of the novelty designs and the inspiration listed below draws from a broader range of architectural references, from names like Mies Van der Rohe, Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. We strive to capture the essence of a minimalistic, bare-bones, concrete based ethos.

ne alpha bars

Hi, some feedback bout the base kit:
_ There isn't a mod color key for "~`", please add it.
_ Please add a R3 "\|" so your base kit can cover both US and UK ISO.
_ There isn't alpha color space-bar in base kit, please consider changing mod color bar to alpha ones since people prefer alpha and accent space bars than mod color ones.
_ There is also problem with alpha legend color, I suggest using accent color for alpha legends for visibility.
dimo:
we need more architecture referenced sets :3
cryllic renders seem to not be uploaded
there should be a deskmat that references the line work of the novelties— the blocky abstract render is whatever
