Outline icon of a pencil writing diagonally across an open-cornered square document frame
About the Edit Pencil Square black outline icon
This icon pairs a long diagonal pencil, complete with a faceted barrel and a sharpened tip, with a square frame whose upper-right corner is left open so the pencil appears to write across the page edge. Together they communicate editing, composing, renaming and updating content. Use it for edit buttons in tables and admin panels, compose actions in mail and messaging apps, profile and form editing screens, note-taking tools, and inline text editors.
The pencil runs at a clean 45-degree angle and reaches well past the frame, which gives the mark a strong diagonal balance against the square's straight strokes. It pairs with the delete, save and duplicate icons used in the same action rows. At small sizes the open corner reads best when you avoid scaling below 20px.
This is the black outline version of the edit pencil square icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
