Ionicons 5 is a newly released set of open-source icons designed for use across web, iOS, Android, and desktop applications, offering over 1200 redesigned icons with distinct variants like outline, fill, and sharp. This version emphasizes a unified design approach inspired by both iOS and Android, allowing developers greater control over icon selection for each platform while maintaining automatic switching for certain platform-specific icons. Ionicons 5 is now distributed as SVG icons instead of font icons, enhancing performance and simplicity. It is compatible with Material Design styles, enabling seamless integration with other design systems. The release has seen widespread adoption, with over 1.2 million monthly installs, and future updates are planned to expand the icon library based on community demand, while ensuring compatibility with the Ionic Framework and other technologies.
