Nice! What does "quality" mean for SVG icons though? I could choose the resolution to be whatever I want.
For instance, I could mangle some SVG icons and while you could scale them to an infinite size.. you wouldn't want to use them ;)
These look great BTW!
*eyeroll*I like that I can select only a few icons and generate a custom true type font straight from the web application.

What is the business model behind this? The GitHub account links to this site: https://tabler.io Which looks like a typical sales page. But it also says "free" everywhere. No info on pricing or business model. The icons page tays to install the icons like this: npm install tabler-icons --save Does this make you vurnurable to code coming downstream from this repo in the future?

What benefit would that have vs SVG? It strikes me as cumbersome if you wanted to quickly add icons to an existing project, plus your ability to style with CSS would be limited compared to inline SVG.
And if you in-line the SVG then you don’t get caching benefits.
Plus you can actually style the individual strokes with icomoon icons - it’s just not as trivial.
Disclaimer: I’ve been a happy icomoon customer for years (I just wish they had an API).
Neat! I tried my luck with unicode symbols once because they scale nicely as well, but many browsers just desecrate them. ⏪ ⏩ are two examples, while these ► are pretty plain. Not that I don't like the specific designs, but the customization destroys any chance of their use if you want to keep consistent looks. In chrome they are on a blue background. I think other browsers might display them differently. Would be co…

I take it to mean that they're composed well: there's a balanced and sensible spacing/padding, the lines are a good weight, they are easy on the eye, there's a consistent look and feel between all of them etc etc. For instance, I could mangle some SVG icons and while you could scale them to an infinite size.. you wouldn't want to use them ;) These look great BTW!
That said, some of the icons reminded me of this article:

This is the first time I see someone getting color inside their HN comment.

Course HN does just fine without Emojis. I can only imagine the amount of downvoting that would ensue. I could see maybe some being useful like the arrows.
Edit:
By the looks of it the emojis that are meant to be signs work. The ones that are actual faces do not.
