- Wrap the shapes in <g fill="currentColor">, as 53% of the set does.
- Round corners with a radius of about 0.5.
Geometry
- Coordinates are free-form; write at most 3 decimals.
- Straight lines: 77% horizontal or vertical, 12% at 45 degrees.
- About 52% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Keep it simple: about 2 elements and 31 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g.
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.
