About the Reading Open Book black outline icon
A simple figure with a circular head and curved shoulders holds a wide open book in front of the chest, both hands wrapped over the covers and the spine dipping at the center. It communicates study, literacy and focused learning, making it a fit for library catalogs, e-reader and audiobook apps, online course lesson pages, school website sections and blog reading-time labels.
The book dominates the lower two-thirds and its V-shaped spine gives the whole mark a stable base, while the head floats clear above so the reading pose stays instant. It pairs with bookmark, graduation cap and library shelf icons. The hand cutouts are small, so prefer 32 px and up or the fill style at toolbar sizes.
This is the black outline version of the reading open book icon: even, monoline strokes that stay crisp at small sizes and suit clean, minimal interfaces, wireframes and light backgrounds.
