Crafted for consistent alignment and visual appeal.
Size
Square
Square Icons precisely occupy a 10x10 unit zone within a 16x16 bounding box, ensuring consistent design alignment.
Attachment
Specificity
Composite icons convey terms of higher specificity. Placement of the attachments should be at the bottom right of the icon.
Insert
Specificity
If the surface of an icon is large enough simply inserting a qualifier is the preferred option to increase specificity.
Circle
Overshoot
Circular icons require a ¼ unit overshoot to match the optical size of a square.
Irregular Shapes
Overshoot
Irregular shapes may overshoot the safe space. The exact amount depends on the shape. But should be an increment of a fraction of unit. (¼ or ½)
Optical
Size
The stroke weight ideally is one unit. But can increase at a .5 increment.
Weights
