Liquid Glass Design (ECC) vs Book Serif Index (Meng To)

Tied at 4/5 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. Shared tasks: Visual direction.

Liquid Glass Design (ECC)

4/5

Liquid Glass Design builds Tally out of frosted glass panels floating over soft mint, peach and periwinkle light, set in Bricolage Grotesque and DM Sans. The dashboard keeps the glass in Manrope and stays readable. Pick it if you want a friendly, Apple-flavored product that looks nothing like the cream-and-serif default.

Book Serif Index (Meng To)

4/5

Book Serif Index lays Tally out as an open ledger: aged paper pages inside a dark leather frame, IM Fell English and EB Garamond on the landing, Cormorant Garamond and Newsreader on the dashboard, with mono chapter numbers and an oxblood accent. The dashboard reads like a page of accounts, drop cap included. It is the most committed idea in this batch. Pick it for products that want warmth, history or craft.

Good fit for	consumer fintech apps iOS companion sites friendly SaaS dashboards wellness and lifestyle products app launch pages	editorial and publishing sites heritage and craft brands personal finance with a story reading and journaling apps
Not great for	dense data and admin tools sober enterprise or legal brands long-form editorial sites	fast-moving SaaS data-dense admin tools brands that want to look modern
Flaws we saw	dashboard desktop: the payee column in the transactions table wraps onto two lines the landing (teal, coral, amber) and the dashboard (blue-led) shift the accent color between pages the skill is written for SwiftUI; on the web the glass is CSS blur, so it leans on backdrop-filter support	small grey serif text on aged paper is hard to read at mobile sizes dashboard: the book frame eats width, so tables feel cramped
