Style: outline, line, monochrome, rounded.
Iconify describes the set as: Precise Shapes, Has Padding, Uses Stroke.
Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 32 32">.
- Keep the drawing inside a 30x30 live area: about 1 unit of padding on every side (never less than 0).
- A typical icon's bounding box covers 71% 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".
Geometry
- Put coordinates on whole units (100% are integers).
- Straight lines: 59% horizontal or vertical, 17% at 45 degrees.
- About 29% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (42% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 1 element and 6 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g, circle, ellipse.
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).
