The eight styles

Outline, Solid, Duotone, Sharp, Thin, Pixel, Doodle and Sticker: what each looks like and when to use it.

Every icon is drawn once and comes in eight styles. In the Studio, Every variant in the inspector shows the icon you’re editing in all eight, plus a row at 16, 24, 32 and 48 pixels. Click a style to show it on the board.

How a style is decided

Each shape in an icon has a role, and the style decides how each role is drawn. A body is filled in Solid and tinted in Duotone; a line is always a stroke. You choose roles in the inspector; see Edit shapes and points.
