Editorial Designer vs UI Principles

Editorial Designer gives Tally a quiet magazine look: off-white paper, very large light Inter Tight headlines with one bold word, thin rules instead of boxes and a single rust accent for things that need attention. The dashboard follows through with a huge "$640" figure, numbered sections and line-only envelope bars. It is clearly its own direction, and the dashboard is the stronger page: on a wide screen the landing headline drops below the phone plate, leaving the first screen mostly empty, and some sections hug the left edge. Pick it for calm, editorial products that want restraint.

UI Principles gives Tally a restrained, neutral product look: near-white backgrounds, the system sans on the landing and Inter on the dashboard, two type sizes and one muted green used only for buttons, healthy bars and October in the chart. The hero is a plain budget card instead of a phone, and the dashboard is a clean grid of rules with black envelope bars and red only for Dining out. It is tidy, readable and works on a phone, but it is generic, with little that says Tally. Pick it to calm down a busy interface rather than to set a brand.
