Canvas
- Root: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24">.
- Keep the drawing inside a 21.5x21.5 live area: about 1.25 units of padding on every side (never less than 0.85).
- A typical icon's bounding box covers 73% of the canvas.
Drawing
- Icons mix strokes and filled shapes (fill 53%, stroke 47%).
- stroke-width="1.5" (widths used: 1.5 47%, 1 2%).
- stroke-linecap="round", stroke-linejoin="miter".
- Use fill-rule="evenodd" for holes.
Geometry
- Coordinates are free-form; write at most 3 decimals.
- Straight lines: 56% horizontal or vertical, 13% at 45 degrees.
- About 71% of drawing commands are curves or arcs.
- Keep it simple: about 3 elements and 33 drawing commands per icon.
- Elements used by the set: path, g, circle, ellipse.
Color
- Monochrome: paint with currentColor only, never a fixed color.
- Duotone: add a second layer of the same color at opacity .3 to .4 (38% of icons).
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).
