<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 Gradient style is best suited for designs where impact and immersion are key, especially on dark backgrounds. All Core Gradient icons are designed on a 14px grid using filled shapes as gradient colors.</p>

Core Gradient

**Summary**: Core's most expressive sub-style — full-spectrum multi-stop gradient fills on rounded silhouettes, designed for landing pages, hero sections, and marketing contexts at 40px+. The rainbow spectrum fills are the most trend-sensitive sub-style in this family and carry the most brand-dating risk over time. The tone signals expressive confidence: "we can be expressive; we choose when." Best for high-production landing pages, feature banners, and dark-background presentations at 40px+ where icons are focal points rather than UI chrome; note that gradient styles date faster than geometry and should be reassessed periodically.

### Emotional Scores

Core Gradient is one of the warmer sub-styles in the catalog — the full-spectrum gradients include red, orange, yellow, and warm tones prominently across the set. It is somewhat soft — gradient fills on rounded silhouettes create a softer visual presence than solid monochrome fills. It is one of the friendlier sub-styles in the catalog — rainbow spectrum fills read as expressive and visually generous, clearly consumer-oriented. It is one of the more playful sub-styles in the catalog — colour variety and gradient energy reads as creative and forward, not austere. On its human↔mechanical character, it is somewhat human-feeling — colour expressiveness reads as a human creative choice, and the rounded compact base keeps it from feeling fully mechanical.

## Pairing & Compatibility

### Typography pairing

- **Primary**: DM Sans — clean, modern humanist without competing with the gradient fills
- **Alternative**: Neue Haas Grotesk — anchors the full-spectrum colour expressiveness with Swiss neutral type
- **Display**: Syne — adds creative energy in hero and feature contexts at large sizes
- **Body**: Inter — reliable underneath the visual richness of gradient icons
- **Avoid**: Cold monospace in consumer-facing gradient contexts; serif at display weight


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