I tried experimenting a little with my previous design. I changed the fonts and background a bit. Which version do you like better?

New design for sure. The distressed texture in the type makes it feel like actual street photography lives inside the letters. The previous version is clean but this one has grit.
Why does a dashboard full of numbers still feel calm?
Bento grids are everywhere, and done right it's not a trend, it's information design. Each cell = one number, one meaning. The grid does the hierarchy for you.
Our three rules for a bento that works:
One idea per cell. Progress, glucose, one task. If a card needs two sentences, it needs two cards.
Mix the scale. One hero cell, a few mediums, one tiny stat, same gap everywhere.
One warm cell. A single card runs warm against the cool, dark screen; it carries the eye, and the rest stay quiet. No neon needed. Grids are calm. Content is loud. That's the whole trick.
Love the three rules. How do you handle this grid when it collapses to mobile without losing the hierarchy?
Working on a website redesign for one of the biggest crypto data providers.
Lots still under wraps, but these cards are my fav so far.
More soon ... 👀
The restraint in these dark cards is doing a lot of work—the tiny pixel details feel intentional, not decorative. The progression across the set makes the crypto product direction feel especially cohesive.
