Our icons are visual symbols used to represent ideas, objects, or actions. They can communicate messages at a glance, afford interactivity, and draw attention to important information. They draw from details found in our typefaces and work well at small sizes.
256pt design grid
We use a 256pt design grid for all icon design. This includes the 8-point base unit and is used as the foundation to determine line thickness, proportion, shape and positioning across the entire set of icons. The grid helps guide design decisions, which will ensure a unified approach but more importantly allows flexibility in creating the appropriate shape needed to communicate the right idea.
