Forward Icon
forward · Arrow Actions · 6 styles
The Forward icon belongs to the Arrow Actions set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 56 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Forward lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "forward", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The drawing communicates skipping ahead or forwarding. That places Forward in the Arrow Actions family, which covers actions expressed as motion — undo, refresh, transfer, sort and turns up in toolbars, data tables, sync indicators and file transfer dialogs. Teams building dashboards and admin panels where every row has an action reach for this set first. Use Forward where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
Forward in 6 styles
Forward exists in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Because each export is a separate binding, unused variants are dropped by the bundler. Import ForwardBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for forward live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

If Forward is not quite the shape you want, Forward Message, Forward2, Multiple Forward Left, Multiple Forward Right and Rewind Forward share part of its name and often work as substitutes.

Outside this category, Archive Up, Map Point Hospital, Water Sun, Laptop, Ufo and Hashtag Chat cover neighbouring ideas; the name "forward" is 7 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Forward icon FAQ
- How do I use the forward icon in Angular?
- Import ForwardBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/arrow-actions", register it with provideSolarIcons(ForwardBold) and render <solar-icon name="forward" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Forward support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of forward?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Forward inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
