Our verdict
3/5 out of 5
Passed the cut
Mono turns Tally into a terminal: near-black pages, Space Mono and JetBrains Mono everywhere, and a bright #37f712 green accent. The landing hero is a CLI-style dashboard; the dashboard uses green only for the active nav, the $640 tile and money coming in. It is consistent and distinct, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for developer tools.

Typography

Observations
- all-monospace text is tiring in longer paragraphs
- dashboard mobile: 628 px wide on a 390 px screen, so it scrolls sideways

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
Artistic (Awesome Design Skills)
Artistic sets Tally as an Art Deco poster: Limelight display type, JetBrains Mono body text, navy and white sections and solid blue and violet blocks with hard offset shadows. The dashboard keeps the dark sidebar, thick outlines and big colored summary blocks. It has a real point of view, but the mobile dashboard scrolls sideways. Pick it for expressive, poster-like brands.
updated 4mo ago
Bold (Awesome Design Skills)
Bold gives Tally a poster: huge uppercase Archivo Black headlines, thick black borders with hard offset shadows, a blue-and-yellow accent pair and a tilted phone in the hero. The dashboard keeps the same voice with a black sidebar, a big black "spent so far" card and striped red for the over-budget envelope. Both pages read clearly and work on a phone. Pick it when you want a product page that shouts.
updated 4mo ago
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.

Neobrutalism (Awesome Design Skills)
Neobrutalism puts Tally on warm off-white with thick navy borders, hard offset shadows and flat yellow and violet blocks. The landing has a CSS phone with sticker-like envelope cards; the dashboard uses a dotted background, yellow highlights on the date and summary cards, and a clean transactions table. It is bold but still easy to read on both pages. Pick it for playful products that want a confident, graphic look.
