<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 Pop style is useful for projects that need a colorful touch, helping to capture attention and strengthen brand recognition.&nbsp;All Core Pop icons are designed on a 14px grid with a mix of outlined and filled shapes, including a wide color palette.</p>

Core Pop

**Summary**: Core's consumer-facing colour variant — rounded 14px geometry with high-saturation multi-color fills (navy, yellow, orange, coral, green, teal), suited to onboarding and feature differentiation in friendly consumer products. Warm saturated fills shift the neutral Core geometry toward the consumer register without approaching the cartoon weight of Plump Pop. The tone signals functional colour: "we have colour, but it's working, not decorating." Best for consumer apps needing colour-based feature recognition, onboarding and empty states in friendly products, and landing pages where the brand palette includes the navy/warm colour system Core Pop reflects directly.

## Fit & Recommendation

### Primary use cases

- Consumer apps where icons need colour-based recognition across features or categories
- Onboarding and empty states in friendly, colourful products
- Landing pages and feature differentiation sections
- App store graphics and promotional materials
- Products whose brand palette includes the navy/warm colour system — Core Pop absorbs it directly

## Visual & Technical Specs

### Visual properties

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Stroke weight | Variable |
| Fill | Mix — outlined + filled per element |
| Corner treatment | Rounded |
| Color | High-saturation multi-color (navy, yellow, orange, coral, green, teal) |

### Emotional Scores

Core Pop is somewhat warm, with the navy and warm saturated palette creating visible warmth despite the cool ground colour. It is somewhat soft — rounded shapes with colour fills make it softer than Sharp Pop by virtue of the compact 14px construction. It is one of the friendlier sub-styles in the catalog and one of the more playful sub-styles in the catalog — multi-color rounded icons are clearly consumer-oriented and signal energy and informality. On its human↔mechanical character, it is somewhat human-feeling, as colour expressiveness humanises the neutral base geometry without making it cold.

## Pairing & Compatibility

### Typography pairing

- **Primary**: Poppins — geometric warmth absorbs Core Pop's colour energy well; rounded letterforms match rounded icon geometry
- **Alternative**: Plus Jakarta Sans — humanist with warmth, handles multi-colour icon environments
- **Display**: Clash Display — adds graphic energy in campaign contexts where Core Pop appears at large sizes
- **Body**: DM Sans Regular — clean, non-competing underneath colourful icons
- **Avoid**: Monospace, cold geometric sans — personality clash with the warm colour palette


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