Framer Releases Sargam: A New Flexible, Consistent SVG Icon Set
Body (in Points):
- What’s new
- Framer introduces Sargam Icons, now accessible via the Insert Panel.
- Every icon is built using SVG stroke to allow styling control.
- Icons are designed on a 24 × 24 grid to maintain alignment, scale, and visual harmony.
- Technical & UX implications
- SVG strokes mean you can customize color, weight, and style more precisely.
- The 24×24 grid ensures consistency across icons, vital for maintaining balanced layout especially in responsive designs.
- Scalable icons help performance (lighter assets) and adaptation (retina / varied screen sizes) without loss of quality.
- Use-case & flexibility
- Ideal for site projects where icon styling must match existing typography or graphical theme.
- Useful in responsive layouts — with strokes and grid sizing, icons adapt better across breakpoints.
- Supports design systems: consistent base metrics simplify maintaining visual rhythm across components.
- Best practices
- Use the Insert Panel to explore and insert these icons directly rather than manually importing.
- Adjust stroke weight and color explicitly to match existing UI elements for cohesive design.
- Test icon rendering in different sizes (small, medium, large) to ensure legibility and clarity.
- Use consistent padding/margins around icons for visual balance, especially in button or navigation contexts.
- Current status & availability
- Live and available now for all Framer users via the Insert Panel.
- No mention of tier-locked access — seems broadly usable.
