Design Guidelines
Font Icons
Font icons are used as visual supplement for text. They can help the user to understand the context and balance the design.
Grid and Keylines
All icons should be designed on a 24px * 24px
artboard, with a margin of 2px
. So, the design space is limited to 20px * 20px
.
The foundation of icons are circles, rectangles and squares. They should
follow the keyline shown in the picture.
Radius
Adding radius on icons helps give the icons a consistent style while being distinct from other icons. There are 3 different radii.
- 90 degree angles must have a 1px radius.
- Open shaped stroke edges must be curved using a 0.5px radius.
- Inner junctions should never have a radius.
Strokes
The width of strokes should be 2px.
Color
The only color should be pure black (#000000
) on a pure white (#FFFFFF
) background.
