Brutalism builds Tally from concrete: a speckled grey grid, 4px black rules, hard offset shadows and huge uppercase Darker Grotesque, with terracotta and ochre blocks. The landing hero is a crooked ledger of envelope budgets; the dashboard uses giant condensed numbers and solid color blocks. It has a strong point of view, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways badly. Pick it for bold, design-forward brands.
Brutalism vs Taste Skill
Awesome Design Skills · design-taste-frontend
Tied at 3/5 on the same brief. Pick by fit: the rows below show where each one is stronger.
Both built the Tally landing page in the same Claude Code test, and both design the Brutalist way: black, white and heavy type. Hard edges, no apologies. Both are best for: visual direction.




First screen only. Switch to side by side to read the full pages.
Scroll either page; the other follows.
Taste makes the boldest landing page in the set, a white Swiss poster with giant Anton type, electric blue and red. The dashboard looks like a different skill made it, and it scrolls sideways on a phone.
