I used to work on my own icon sets a lot, but have recently purhcased a figma component library for work. It helps a lot and it’s nice to have such a big variety of icons right off the bat. But…
When I made my own icons, I always made them so that either the icon height or width (or both) reaches 24px. However, the icons from this ready library seem to work in another way - The icon bounds are 24px, but the icon itself seems to be around 20px (image attached). What is the reason for this, can someone enlighten me? I’m kind of having a hard time setting padding for icons because of this.
Is this a common practice or is the library being weird? thanks for any answers!
