<p>Nova is a cross between Streamline and Material. The Line variant follows both design systems with no padding for a larger appearance.</p>

Nova Line

**Summary**: The 1px stroke sub-style with concept-appropriate hybrid geometry — circles where things are circular, straight lines where things are structural. The most emotionally neutral sub-style in the catalog; the Material Design familiarity reads as accessible and professional simultaneously without pulling toward either extreme. The tone signals universal legibility: immediately recognisable to anyone who has used a smartphone, trading distinctiveness for familiarity as a deliberate product decision. Best for cross-platform products and enterprise SaaS where icon recognition speed and Material-adjacent familiarity matter more than visual differentiation.

## Fit & Recommendation

### Primary use cases

- Products that must feel immediately legible to the broadest possible audience, including users from Google/Material-native ecosystems
- Cross-platform products where icon vocabulary must bridge mobile (Material) and web (Streamline) conventions without visual dissonance
- Enterprise SaaS products wanting Material-adjacent familiarity with broader icon coverage than Material Symbols offers
- Navigation and controls in products where the primary audience expects modern professional UI conventions
- Any product where icon recognition speed matters more than visual distinctiveness

## Brand & Cultural Identity

### What it communicates

> "We are legible to everyone who has ever used a smartphone."

## Visual & Technical Specs

### Visual properties

| Property | Value |
|----------|-------|
| Stroke weight | 1px |
| Fill | None |
| Corner treatment | Hybrid — circles and arcs for organic/circular concepts; straight lines for structural elements |
| Color | Monochrome (black) |

### Emotional Scores

Nova Line is near neutral on warmth leaning slightly warm — the hybrid geometry including circles gives slight warmth, while the 1px black stroke is neutral, landing closer to balanced than either extreme. It is somewhat soft — 1px strokes with concept-appropriate construction balance circle elements introducing softness with straight elements introducing structure, landing near the midpoint. It is near neutral on friendliness — Material Design familiarity reads as accessible and professional simultaneously, landing at an exact neutral between friendly and formal. It is near neutral on playfulness — the hybrid construction is purposeful without being playful and functional without being austere, landing at the genuine midpoint. On its human↔mechanical character, it is near neutral leaning slightly warm — concept-appropriate geometry feels considered rather than systematic, with circle elements adding an organic quality that straight elements cannot fully neutralise.

## Pairing & Compatibility

### Typography pairing

- **Primary**: Inter — the most direct companion; same 24px grid compatibility, same neutrality, same universal legibility goal
- **Material-native**: Roboto — for products explicitly targeting Material Design compatibility
- **Alternative**: Plus Jakarta Sans — humanist warmth that Nova Line's neutral geometry can absorb without contradiction
- **Body**: Inter Regular or Source Sans Pro
- **Display**: DM Sans — slightly more personality than Inter for contexts where Nova Line is paired with stronger brand expression
- **Avoid**: Heavy geometric sans at display weight that overpowers the 1px icons; cold monospace in consumer contexts; decorative or hand-drawn display fonts


<p>These icons follow our Streamline’s structure and loosely adopt Google Material’s style. With no padding, they appear larger and became the predecessor to our Material Pro set.</p>
