Heroicons
MIT UI icon set
FreeDesign tools, color & typeheroicons.com
What it is
Hand-drawn SVG icon set from the Tailwind CSS team, supplied in four cuts: 24px outline, 24px solid, 20px solid and 16px solid, each optically drawn for its size rather than scaled down. Official React and Vue packages ship every icon as a component.
Why it earns a slot
The default when you are already in Tailwind — stroke weights and sizes line up with Tailwind's spacing scale, so icons sit correctly beside text without nudging.
Know before you commit
The set is deliberately small and UI-focused, so niche and brand icons are missing. Fill gaps from Phosphor or Iconify rather than mixing in a set with a different stroke weight.
Getting started
