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.

Pick it for

  • developer tools
  • CLI and infra products
  • hacker-style side projects
  • dark dashboards

Skip it for

  • consumer finance brands
  • accessibility-first products
  • long reading pages

Observations

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

Artistic (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

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.

Bold (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

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.

Futuristic (Awesome Design Skills)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

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)

Skill · Visual directionGitHub stars 3.3k

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.
