- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512">.

- A typical icon's bounding box covers 66% of the canvas.
Drawing
- Icons mix strokes and filled shapes (stroke 52%, fill 47%, mixed 2%).
- stroke-width="32" (widths used: 32 48%, 48 3%, 42 2%).
- stroke-linecap="round", stroke-linejoin="round".
- Round corners with a radius of about 16.
Geometry
- Coordinates are free-form; write at most 2 decimals.
- Straight lines: 66% horizontal or vertical, 16% at 45 degrees.
- About 49% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Keep it simple: about 2 elements and 15 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, rect, circle.
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.
