Iconography · Overview

Iconography.

Perelel's iconography is minimalist and clinical. Hairline geometry on a 16×16 grid, drawn proprietary to the brand. It avoids generic wellness-illustration tropes — no gut icon for fiber, no leaf for botanicals, no brain for cognition. When a glyph is needed, the answer is typographic or geometric, not literal.


Families

Seven icon systems.

Each family answers a different question on a product surface. Same rules, different roles.


Rule

Geometric, hairline, typographic.

Every Perelel icon is drawn proprietary to the brand. Glyphs sit on a 16×16 grid in currentColor, set in 1.25px strokes with square caps and miter joins. Geometry is built from straight lines and right angles; curves appear only when the concept demands a circle, and never as organic flourish. No fills, no gradients, no decorative embellishment.

Each icon should resolve to a clear typographic concept and pair comfortably with a Neue Montreal Mono label at the same cap height. When the system doesn’t yet ship a glyph for a utility need (close, chevron, search), Lucide is the approved fallback: load from unpkg.com/lucide-static/icons/ and override stroke weight to 1.25px to match the hairline aesthetic. Never icon fonts. Never colored emoji—monochrome Unicode glyphs and typographic punctuation are the brand’s “emoji” set.
