90% of icon sets fail for one reason.
Not talent. Not tools. Not creativity.
Inconsistency.
A great icon set isn’t about making icons. It’s about building a system.
Here’s what actually matters 👇
• One clear purpose (not random icons) • One visual language • One stroke weight • One spacing logic • Icons that still work at 16px
If one icon breaks the rules, the whole UI feels broken.
Users may not say it. But they feel it.
Icons don’t need to be impressive. They need to be invisible.
That’s when you know the system works.
Design rule: If your icons need explaining, redesign them.
