Feather Icons

Simply beautiful open-source SVG icon set by Cole Bemis with 280+ icons on a 24x24 grid. The original inspiration for the Lucide fork; widely used in developer-facing UI kits.

Our Verdict

Timeless minimalist icon set, but in 2026 the actively maintained Lucide fork is the better default for new projects.

Pros

  • Clean, minimal aesthetic with consistent 24x24 grid
  • MIT license allows unrestricted use
  • Small bundle size and simple SVG output
  • Huge footprint in developer UIs and dashboards

Cons

  • Maintenance has been slow for years
  • Only ~280 icons; gaps for modern product needs
  • Single-weight style limits flexibility
  • Lucide fork is now more actively maintained
Best for: Legacy projects already using Feather or fans of the minimalist single-weight style. Not for: New projects needing active updates, more icons, or multiple weights.

When to Use Feather Icons

Good fit if you need

  • Minimal icon set integrated into developer-facing dashboard
  • SVG icons imported as React components in design system
  • Consistent 24x24 icon grid used across admin UI kit
  • Open-source project README iconography from Feather set
  • Accessible SVG icons with aria-label for screen readers
