SF Symbols

SF Symbols is a comprehensive library of over 6,000 symbols meticulously designed to integrate seamlessly with San Francisco, the system font for Apple platforms. These symbols are highly versatile, available in nine weights and three scales, and they automatically align with text. This ensures a consistent and visually appealing look across all applications. For designers and developers who need even more flexibility, SF Symbols can be exported and edited using vector graphics editing tools. This allows for the creation of custom symbols that maintain shared design characteristics and accessibility features.

SF Symbols 6 introduces significant enhancements, including new and improved animations, updated annotation tools, and over 800 new symbols.

Key features of SF Symbols 6 include:

• New Animations: Configurable animations like wiggle, rotate, and breathe make symbols more expressive, enabling them to respond to user input, indicate status changes, and show ongoing activity.
• Magic Replace: This updated animation feature allows symbols to transition smoothly between related variants. Slashes can draw on and off, and badges can appear, disappear, or be replaced independently of the base symbol.
• Enhanced Annotation: Improved annotation tools for custom symbols allow you to specify preferred animation directions for wiggle and rotate, and set custom anchor points for rotation.
• Over 800 New Symbols: The library now includes new devices, automotive indicators, health and fitness symbols, formatting controls, and more. There are also new localized symbols for various languages and numeral systems.
