Tilted keyboard key cap with Esc lettered across its top face
About the Esc black outline icon
A single keyboard keycap tilted into three quarter view, lettered Esc across its sloped top face, with two visible side walls giving it height off the board. It suits keyboard shortcut guides, gaming peripheral pages, onboarding tooltips that explain how to close a dialog, accessibility documentation and help center articles about navigation.
The cap is drawn at an angle rather than flat on, so the raised sides read as a real key instead of a label chip. It matches other keycap icons such as Enter, Shift and Tab. Avoid sizes under 24 px, where the lettering closes up.
This is the black outline version of the esc icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
