I know it’s not quite what you’re saying (aesthetics vs data density) but it feels similar

I miss websites like this

I’ve been a designer for nearly 20 years, a minimalist both in life and in design. I’ve worked with major brands in fashion, art, and corporate sectors, where minimalism, typography, and whitespace management are key. Minimalism isn’t a trend—it’s about balance between aesthetics and function.

As someone who mostly browses the web on a computer I really hate the mobile first designs. Websites used to have multiple columns and sidebar menus when we had 1024px wide 17" screens. Now I have 27" with over 5000 pixels and all the content is in one giant column.

Have an example of your work where you're already doing this?

nope! I've been building software and teaching for years so I don't do much design work these days. something I'm lamenting from the 2000s and thinking about for the future. how about you?
