Link Square Icon
link-square · Text Formatting · 6 styles
Open the Text Formatting set and Link Square is one of the glyphs you get. It is one of 33 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Link Square lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "link-square", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The metaphor here is hyperlinks and connections and a square container that gives the glyph a consistent bounding box. That places Link Square in the Text Formatting family, which covers typography controls and rich-text formatting and turns up in WYSIWYG toolbars, markdown editors, comment boxes and CMS fields. Teams building editors and content tooling reach for this set first. Use Link Square 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.
Link Square in 6 styles
Link Square ships 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.

Nothing is registered globally by default, so the import list is the bundle. Import LinkSquareBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting" 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 link-square live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

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