Tally

A dead-simple
style guide.

Paper surfaces, graphite text, and pencil yellow.

Use one accent.

Yellow belongs on the primary action, selected navigation, and grade ruler. Keep the rest quiet. Course colors identify courses; grade colors identify letter bands.

Use the Mac’s own type.

System sans for text, rounded system type for headings, and monospace only for codes and shortcuts. Use tabular numbers for grades. Give the whole number more weight than its decimals.

Make the number easy to read.

Show grades to two decimal places. Keep full precision in calculations. Round required scores up. The ruler runs from 60 to 100, with an exact readout for values outside that range.

Keep the page simple.
