Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">.

- Outline icons: draw with strokes only and fill="none"; solid shapes are the exception.
- stroke-width="2" (widths used: 2 92%, 2.6 6%, 1.6 2%).

- About 37% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (41% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 1 element and 8 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g, rect, circle, animatetransform, ellipse.
Color
- Monochrome: paint with currentColor only, never a fixed color.
Output
