Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">.
- Keep the drawing inside a 22x22 live area: about 1 unit of padding on every side (never less than 0).
- A typical icon's bounding box covers 69% of the canvas.
Drawing
- Outline icons: draw with strokes only and fill="none"; solid shapes are the exception.
- stroke-width="2".
- stroke-linecap="round", stroke-linejoin="round".
- Use fill-rule="evenodd" for holes.
- Round corners with a radius of about 2.
Geometry
- Coordinates are free-form; write at most 3 decimals.
- Straight lines: 67% horizontal or vertical, 10% at 45 degrees.
- About 47% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (41% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 2 elements and 12 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g, circle, rect, clippath, defs.
Color
- Monochrome: paint with currentColor only, never a fixed color.
Output
- Reply with one complete <svg> element and nothing else: no comments, <title>, ids or scripts.
- Match the examples: reuse their shapes for shared parts (arrow heads, people, documents, badges).
