<p>Core is timeless, like the Helvetica font or The Beatles. With its minimalist design and neutrality, it can adapt to any layout.&nbsp;The Neon style is especially effective in complex environments where&nbsp;quick recognition and hierarchy&nbsp;are essential. It also allows you to customize the line thickness.&nbsp;All Core Neon icons are designed on a 14px grid with a 1px default stroke and two customizable line colors.</p>

Core Neon

**Summary**: Core's vivid dark-adjacent sub-style — 1px rounded line in magenta/pink primary and dark navy, delivering neon energy with the thin elegant stroke of the 14px grid rather than the aggressive weight of larger-grid neon sets. The thin 1px rounded stroke makes the neon palette feel vivid rather than aggressive, a lighter-handed alternative to Sharp Neon. The tone signals refined vivid energy: "we can be vivid when the context demands it." Best for creative tools, design-adjacent software, tech brands with a bold saturated brand palette, and dark-adjacent interfaces where neon register fits the product personality without requiring the mechanical weight of thicker-stroke neon sets.

## Fit & Recommendation

### Primary use cases

- Products with a bold, saturated brand palette
- Dark-adjacent or mixed-mode interfaces where the neon register fits the product personality
- Creative tools and design-adjacent software
- Tech brands leaning into a vivid colour identity
- Lighter-handed application of the neon register suitable for products that want energy without aggressive weight

## Visual & Technical Specs

### Visual properties

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Stroke weight | 1px |
| Fill | None (line only) |
| Corner treatment | Rounded corners |
| Color | Two-color: magenta/pink primary + dark navy |

### Emotional Scores

Core Neon is somewhat cold — the magenta plus navy is an electric, cool palette, though the thin 1px stroke creates less visual mass than Sharp Neon and makes it feel cool rather than harshly cold. It is somewhat soft — the 1px stroke at the 14px grid with rounded caps is visually soft despite the energetic colour. It is somewhat friendly — the neon register is intense but thin rounded strokes prevent the full formality of heavier geometric sets. On playfulness, it sits near neutral — colour energy suggests playfulness while the stripped-back icon construction suggests function, producing a genuine midpoint. On its human↔mechanical character, it is somewhat mechanical — the neon palette reads as technical and circuit-adjacent while the thin soft strokes partially offset this.

## Pairing & Compatibility

### Typography pairing

- **Primary**: Space Grotesk — geometric with subtle personality, handles the neon palette on any background
- **Alternative**: Barlow — clean, slightly condensed, works in the neon register without drama
- **Body**: Inter Medium — readable, works on both light and dark backgrounds alongside the neon icons
- **Avoid**: Serif fonts, hand-drawn fonts, warm humanist faces — the electric palette requires cool or neutral type


<p>The Helvetica of icons. Core is stripped to essential form with generous spacing. It's a timeless workhorse for interface design.</p>
