Really? I thought Memphis style was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis_Group and this: https://www.megapixl.com/illustration-for-hipsters-memphis-s... (e.g. "80s style").

This website is not giving me that impression. If anything, it reminds me of a style I associate with the 60s or 70s (namely a sans serif font coupled with geometric graphics that use multiple shades of the same bright color).

Edit: I think it's closer to the "Swiss/International Style": https://www.google.com/search?q=Swiss/International+Style+Gr..., but I'm by no means an expert.

It's ITS derived but the nearer referent is Material via Penguin Book covers from around 1960 to 1975, like the classic Hare Sitting Up: https://www.flickr.com/photos/joekral/231480092/in/album-721...
It borrows from both Swiss style and constructivism.
