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 Print Romantic way: cream paper, serif headlines, nothing shouting. Both are best for: visual direction, landing pages.

Editorial Service Booking (Meng To)

3/5

Editorial Service Booking gives Tally a quiet magazine look: warm paper, large Instrument Serif headlines with italics, Inter text, black chapters and a muted olive and rust accent. It sits close to the default's cream and serif, but the editorial layout and the black bands make it clearly its own. Pick it for calm, premium service brands.

3/5

The Halftone Line skill draws black line art with halftone dot shading and keeps Tally strictly two-color: black ink on warm paper, Instrument Serif headlines, mono captions and heavy rules. The dashboard follows with Newsreader and IBM Plex. It reads like a printed zine. Pick it for editorial or craft brands that like ink on paper.

Observations
  • cream paper and a big serif keep it close to the default look
  • dashboard: low-contrast tan bars in the chart
  • cream paper and a big serif keep it near the default, though the ink-only palette is its own
  • with only black and paper, overspent envelopes rely on hatching to stand out
  • the runs are slow and costly next to the web-design skills, because the art is drawn in SVG
