Our verdict
4/5 out of 5
Passed the cut
Japanese Minimal gives Tally a wabi-sabi ledger: Shippori Mincho headlines on rice paper, Zen Kaku Gothic New body text, a red hanko seal by the wordmark and a vertical line of text at the edge of the hero. Features and pricing are thin-ruled rows instead of cards, and the dashboard uses Roman-numeral navigation, three large figures with seal red only on the $640, and a quiet gray bar chart. It is the most restrained look in this batch and holds together on both pages and on a phone, though the small gray text is faint and the landing feels sparse. Pick it for studios, tea or wellness brands, or any product that wants stillness.

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.

Popular Web Designs (Hermes Agent)
Popular Web Designs gives Tally the Wise treatment: very heavy black Inter headlines, a lime highlight box around 'job.', pill buttons, big rounded cards and a black pricing band with a lime Plus plan. The dashboard follows through with a black 'left to budget' card in huge lime numerals, lime envelope bars and a lime October bar. It is far from the default and holds together on both pages and on a phone, though the tight headline leading lets lines collide and a sync chip covers the Groceries label in the hero. Pick it when you want a bright, confident consumer fintech look and are happy to start from a known brand's style.

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.

Editorial Minimal (Design Taste by Mustafa)
Editorial Minimal gives Tally a printed broadsheet: light Fraunces headlines with one italic vermilion word, IBM Plex Mono section numbers, hairline rules and an "In this issue" index beside the hero. The dashboard keeps the voice in Newsreader, opening with "You have $640 left to give a job" next to a ruled column of figures, and lists envelopes as a numbered table with one red over-budget bar. The background is cream like the default, but the green, the phone mockup and the cards are all gone, and both pages read well on a phone. Pick it for a calm, print-inspired product that lets type do the work.

Quiet Luxury (Design Taste by Mustafa)
Quiet Luxury gives Tally a private-bank annual report: Cormorant Garamond headlines with one italic word, widely spaced small caps, an index column of features beside the hero and a ledger panel drawn in hairlines. The dashboard switches the accent from forest green to oxblood and lays envelopes, transactions and bills out as ruled lists instead of cards. It is calm and consistent, but the ivory, serif and green landing sits near the default, much of the gray text is faint, and the hero shows little of the product. Pick it for premium services that want restraint over color.

Retro Print (Design Taste by Mustafa)
Retro Print prints Tally like a risograph poster: giant Anton capitals with a misregistered red and blue shadow, Newsreader for body text, IBM Plex Mono labels, a boxed row of envelope figures and a black marquee strip. Further down, a halftone panel draws the envelopes and pricing ends with a black Plus card and a red Family card. The dashboard keeps every idea, with a dotted "$640 left to budget" panel, numbered envelope rows, halftone chart bars and a dashed "over by $36" stamp. It is committed, readable and works on a phone. Pick it for food, music, event or agency brands with an analog voice.

Taste Skill (design-taste-frontend)
Taste makes the boldest landing page in the set, a white Swiss poster with giant Anton type, electric blue and red. The dashboard looks like a different skill made it, and it scrolls sideways on a phone.
