Our verdict
3/5 out of 5
Passed the cut
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.
Pick it for
- design studios and portfolios
- bold indie products
- campaign pages
- opinionated SaaS brands
Skip it for
- conservative finance brands
- accessibility-first products
- dense data tools
Typography
Colors
Observations
- the thick rules and crooked blocks make some sections hard to scan
- dashboard mobile: 671 px wide on a 390 px screen, so it scrolls sideways

Same brief, other skills
Liquid Glass Design (ECC)
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.

Impeccable
Impeccable drops the cream-and-serif default for a loud navy, orange and primary-color landing page set in heavy Archivo, then builds a calmer pine-and-lime dashboard. Pick it if you want a product page with real energy that still holds up on a dense screen.

Hallmark
Hallmark turns Tally into a cheerful yellow-and-pastel brand in Plus Jakarta Sans with big ghost numerals, and the dashboard matches it. The most consistent result in the set, but it took about 12 minutes per brief.

Huashu Design
Huashu swaps Fraunces for Bricolage Grotesque and puts a lime highlighter on a deep forest green. It keeps envelopes as real kraft cards and carries the look into a tidy dashboard. A safe, distinct choice for consumer finance.

Also for these tasks
Fantasy (Awesome Design Skills)
Fantasy recasts Tally as a royal treasury: a starry navy hero, New Rocker display type, gold accents, envelopes as "coffers" and plans named Squire, Knight and Guild. The dashboard has a deep-blue sidebar with a gold crest and gold-cornered cards. The theme is fun and consistent, but the light dashboard is calmer than the landing. Pick it for gaming or playful brands.
updated 4mo ago
Cafe (Awesome Design Skills)
Cafe gives Tally espresso browns on cream, Poppins type and soft rounded cards. The landing has a phone next to a paper-receipt "monthly tally" and coffee-themed copy; the dashboard leads with a dark espresso summary card. It is warm and tidy, but the cream background and phone hero sit close to the default look, with brown in place of green. Pick it for cozy lifestyle or food brands.

Cosmic (Awesome Design Skills)
Cosmic sets Tally in deep space: a starfield, blue-to-violet neon glows, Audiowide headings and JetBrains Mono text. The landing hero is an animated orbit with envelopes circling the monthly budget; the dashboard uses frosted-glass cards and an orbit-ring gauge. It is distinct and consistent, but the mobile landing scrolls sideways. Pick it for space, gaming or futuristic brands.

Futuristic (Awesome Design Skills)
Futuristic gives Tally dark navy sections with a faint grid and blue-to-violet glows, Audiowide headings and Roboto text, alternating with white sections. The dashboard is a light control panel with a dark nav rail and a gradient-ringed summary card. It is clean and distinct, though the light dashboard is tamer than the hero. Pick it for tech and AI products.
