Iconify describes the set as: Precise Shapes, Has Padding.
Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">.
- Keep the drawing inside a 20x20 live area: about 2 units of padding on every side (never less than 1).
- A typical icon's bounding box covers 69% of the canvas.
Drawing
- Filled icons: draw closed filled shapes; don't use strokes.
Geometry
- Put coordinates on whole units (100% are integers).
- Straight lines: 100% horizontal or vertical, 0% at 45 degrees.
- About 0% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Prefer left-right symmetric shapes (42% of icons are symmetric).
- Keep it simple: about 1 element and 34 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.
- Match the examples: reuse their shapes for shared parts (arrow heads, people, documents, badges).
