Iconify describes the set as: Precise Shapes, Has Padding, Uses Stroke.
Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 256 256">.
- Keep the drawing inside a 240x240 live area: about 8 units of padding on every side (never less than 7.06).
- A typical icon's bounding box covers 88% of the canvas.
Drawing
- Outline icons: draw with strokes only and fill="none"; solid shapes are the exception.
- stroke-width="16" (widths used: 16 94%, 15.99 12%, 4.23 4%, 4.24 2%).
- stroke-linecap="round", stroke-linejoin="round".
- Wrap the shapes in <g fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="16">, as 67% of the set does.
- Round corners with a radius of about 16.
Geometry
- Coordinates are free-form; write at most 3 decimals.
- Straight lines: 78% horizontal or vertical, 8% at 45 degrees.
- About 47% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (45% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 8 elements and 12 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: g, path, circle, rect.
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).
- The result is a derivative of GPL; it must be released under the same license.
