One package, four ways in. The icon inherits currentColor and is decorative unless you give it a title. Install it with npm i @matita/icons.

React

import { Type } from '@matita/icons/react';

<Type size={24} />

// or by name
import { SketchIcon } from '@matita/icons/react';
<SketchIcon name="type" />

JavaScript

import { Type, toSvg } from '@matita/icons';

toSvg(Type, { size: 24 });   // SVG string

02How it's drawn

The recipe for type

Type is not stored as a drawing. It is a recipe of 1 polyline and 2 lines on a 24 by 24 grid, and a small program draws it like a pencil would. The wobble comes from the name, so it always comes out the same.

Pass a seed for another take of the same recipe. The wobble is capped, so it still reads at 16 px.
