Material Design icons are simple,

modern, friendly, and sometimes
quirky. Each icon is reduced to its
minimal form. The designs ensure
readability and clarity even at
small sizes.

Use these icons to create specific

Cards while maintaining a
consistent visual look.

Material icons can be searched
