About the Reading Person Open Book black filled icon
A simplified figure with a round head and curved shoulders sits behind a wide open book that fills the lower half of the frame; two rounded hands grip the outer edges of the covers, and a center spine splits the spread into two pages. It reads as reading, studying, learning or research at a glance. Use it in library catalogs, e-book readers, online course platforms, school websites and hobby or literacy campaigns.
The book is drawn larger than the person, an intentional proportion that keeps the act of reading, not the reader, as the subject, and the slightly curled page corners suggest a real paperback. It pairs with bookshelf, graduation cap and notebook icons. The head stays legible down to 24 px, so it works in compact nav menus.
This is the solid black filled version of the reading person open book icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
