Hourglass Icon
hourglass · Time · 6 styles
Filed under Time, the Hourglass icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 27 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Hourglass lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "hourglass", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as the idea of clocks, alarms, calendars and duration. That places Hourglass in the Time family, which covers clocks, alarms, calendars and duration and turns up in schedulers, timers, history views and deadline badges. Teams building calendars, booking flows and time-tracking tools reach for this set first. Use Hourglass 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.
Hourglass in 6 styles
Hourglass is drawn 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.

Every export is an isolated constant, so the bundler drops whatever you never mention. Import HourglassBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/time" 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 hourglass live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Hourglass icon FAQ
- How do I use the hourglass icon in Angular?
- Import HourglassBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/time", register it with provideSolarIcons(HourglassBold) and render <solar-icon name="hourglass" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Hourglass 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 hourglass?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Hourglass inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
