About the Open Book black outline icon
A book lies open with its spine in the center and page blocks curving away on both sides, while a wide flat cover extends underneath and past the pages on either edge. The wave along the top and bottom of each page block suggests loose paper. It suits e-learning course cards, library catalogs, documentation and help center links, reading app toolbars and publishing site headers.
The layout is broad and symmetrical, wider than it is tall, so it sits well in a horizontal nav row or a feature strip. Only the spine line breaks the symmetry, keeping the silhouette calm. Pair it with bookmark, graduation cap and pencil icons; at 16px the page curves flatten, so switch to the filled style.
This is the black outline version of the open book icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
