01Fact sheet

The facts.

The Corral is a race app for runners. It finds races in a catalog checked against each organizer, suggests tune-ups before a goal race, and keeps track of registration and lottery deadlines. On race day it gives the runner a cheer link that family and friends open without the app: they see when to look for the runner, pin where they'll stand, and leave audio cheers that play in the runner's ears as they reach that spot. Afterwards, the finish goes up on the runner's wall as a poster.

02Design story

Tyvek & Ink.

Built like the things you bring home from a race: the bib, the ticket, the stamp on the back of your hand.

Paper and ink

Grounds are warm off-white paper; bibs, tickets and posters are Tyvek objects drawn with a heavy ink line. Containers recede so the objects on them are what the eye lands on.

Stamps of record

Registered, Finisher, PR, Goal hit: the marks that matter are rubber stamps in tracked caps, pressed at a slight angle in a single ink.

The numbers are the headline

Finish times, countdowns and bib numbers are set in Barlow Condensed at poster scale. Words are set in Barlow, never below 10 pt.
