Design
A picture, understood fast
If an icon needs a label to make sense, it is not doing its job.
We design icons that are simple, consistent and grounded in familiar metaphors, so their meaning lands instantly, and pair them with labels where clarity matters most.
Icons that communicate instantly
Instantly legible
Meaning clear before the user has to think.
Visually consistent
One weight and style across the whole set.
Labeled when needed
Paired with words wherever meaning could slip.
The test
An icon nobody understands is just decoration
If it needs a caption to read, it isn't doing its job.
Icons promise to communicate faster than words, but only when their meaning is obvious. A clever glyph that users have to decode adds a puzzle to every screen it appears on.
We design icons around familiar metaphors, keep them visually consistent, and pair them with a label wherever meaning could slip, clarity first, cleverness only when it's also clear.
Highlights
What makes them work
Simple
One clear idea per icon.
Consistent
One style across the set.
Familiar
Metaphors people already know.
A closer look
An icon is a word in a very small font
Icons fail silently: nobody files a bug saying they didn't understand the pictogram, they just don't click. That is why we test icons the way we test copy, show them cold to someone outside the project and ask what they expect the button to do.
Ambiguity is solved by pairing, not by cleverness. Outside a dozen universals, search, close, settings, back, an icon should travel with a label until analytics prove the label redundant. Mystery-meat navigation saves pixels and costs task completion.
Consistency is a grid, literally: one geometry, one stroke weight, one corner radius, aligned to the pixel grid so nothing blurs at 16px. A single icon drawn on a different skeleton reads as a typo in a sentence users scan hundreds of times a day.
We build software for teams who want their tools to fit the way they actually work — web, mobile, AI and the systems that tie them together. We write here about what we learn shipping it.
