Iconography

Evolve has no proprietary icon font. The site does its work with type, photography and the symbol. When icons are genuinely needed, use Lucide: open-source, stroke-based, geometric, which matches the geometric display type.

The Set: Lucide

Outlined only, never filled. A representative sample at 1.7px stroke. Load from CDN: unpkg.com/lucide@latest.

Lucide is our recommendation, not Evolve’s own set: if a preferred library exists (Phosphor, Feather, Heroicons), substitute it wholesale rather than mixing.
