Text Icon

text · Text Formatting · 6 styles

Filed under Text Formatting, the Text icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. 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 Text lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "text", and every style variant resolves from that single name.

Users read the shape as text content. That places Text 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 Text 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.

Text in 6 styles

Text 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.

How to use the text icon in Angular

Because each export is a separate binding, unused variants are dropped by the bundler. Import TextBold 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 text live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

typescript
import { TextBold, TextBoldDuotone, TextLinear, TextOutline, TextBroken, TextLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting';
typescript
import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { TextBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/text-formatting';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [provideSolarIcons(TextBold)]
};
html
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="bold" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="linear" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="outline" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="broken" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="text" iconStyle="line-duotone" size="24px" />

If Text is not quite the shape you want, Clapperboard Text, Clipboard Text, Document Text, File Text and Text Bold share part of its name and often work as substitutes.

Elsewhere in the library

Outside this category, Spedometer Max, Code Square, Record Minimalistic, Bell Bing, Map Arrow Up and Upload Minimalistic cover neighbouring ideas; the name "text" is 4 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.

Text icon FAQ

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