Overview
01
The challenge
Mid-run, nobody reads. Pace needed a live screen you can understand in a half-second glance at 5 a.m.
What we did
One number, huge. Everything else is secondary and shaped like a route. The plan adapts to how your legs felt, and every personal best gets a moment worth sharing.

Identity
03
The icon, the palette and the type were designed together with the interface, so the app looks like itself everywhere: home screen, store, notification.

The unglamorous state
05
The calm summary after a hard run
The moment that decides whether someone trusts the app enough to open it again tomorrow.
