<p>Sharp cuts the chase with its bold and geometric look. It follows strict construction guidelines to convey a high-tech feel.&nbsp;The Gradient style is best suited for designs where impact and immersion are key, especially on dark backgrounds. All Sharp Gradient icons are designed on a 24px grid using filled shapes as gradient colors.</p>

Sharp Gradient

**Summary**: Solid fills with full-spectrum multi-stop gradients per icon, no stroke — the most visually striking and warm Sharp sub-style. Full-spectrum warm tones make this the family's most expressive and consumer-facing sub-style while the sharp geometric silhouettes underneath retain the Sharp DNA. The tone signals "we are technically capable of beauty" — gradient expressiveness inside precise geometry. Best for landing pages, hero sections, and high-production marketing at 40px+, especially on dark backgrounds where gradient fills appear to glow.

## Visual & Technical Specs

| Fill | Solid fills with multi-stop gradients |
| Corner treatment | Sharp geometric silhouettes |
| Color | Full-spectrum gradients per icon |

### Emotional Scores

Sharp Gradient is one of the friendlier sub-styles in the catalog within the Sharp family — full-spectrum gradients include warm tones (red, orange, yellow) prominently, making this the warmest Sharp sub-style. It is near neutral on softness leaning slightly hard — gradient fills soften the perceived hardness of sharp silhouettes noticeably while the geometry underneath retains structure. It is somewhat friendly — colourful gradient fills read as expressive and inviting rather than formal. It is somewhat warm on playfulness — rainbow-spectrum gradients per icon signal creativity and energy, not austerity. On its human↔mechanical character, it is near neutral leaning slightly mechanical — colour expressiveness introduces humanity while the sharp geometry underneath pulls mechanical.

## Pairing & Compatibility

### Typography pairing

- **Primary**: Neue Haas Grotesk — Swiss precision anchors the chromatic expressiveness of gradient fills
- **Alternative**: Space Grotesk — adds just enough personality to match gradient energy without competing
- **Display**: Syne — editorial geometric display, works in hero and feature contexts
- **Body**: DM Sans — clean, readable, doesn't pull attention from the gradient icons
- **Avoid**: Cold monospace in marketing contexts, warm serif fonts, hand-drawn fonts


<p>Sharp combines pure geometry and bold structure for a brutalist, high-tech feel. It’s raw, trendy, and unapologetic. It pairs best with typefaces that have strong construction, such as Futura, Gill Sans, or Space Mono.</p>
