FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What the Format Bold icon means and where it's used, then how to install, style, label and license it.
The format-bold icon represents a text formatting feature, specifically bolding text. This icon is commonly used in word processing and text editing applications to denote the action of making text bold. It originates from the Material Design library, which provides a wide range of icons for various applications.
In software applications like Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and LibreOffice Writer, this icon appears as a button or menu item, allowing users to quickly make their text bold. The icon is also used in graphic design and desktop publishing software, such as Adobe InDesign and Canva, to help users create visually appealing layouts.
From a UX perspective, the format-bold icon communicates the action of adjusting text style to improve readability and aesthetics. It helps users understand that they can adjust the font style of their text to better suit their needs. By providing a clear and recognizable icon, users can quickly and easily access this feature, streamlining their workflow.
Format Bold is one of 304 icons in Material Design Light, made by Pictogrammers and released under Open Font License. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.
Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds FormatBoldIcon to components/icons/mdi-light-format-bold.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.
Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed FormatBoldIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.
Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.
With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Format Bold icon, or any of 304 Material Design Light icons, and install it from a prompt.
It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.
Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.
Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.
Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Format Bold", so screen readers say what it does.
Yes. FormatBoldIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FormatBoldIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.
Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.
Yes. The Open Font License allows commercial use; the icons can't be sold on their own. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.
No visible credit is required: Open Font License only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Design Light, Pictogrammers and the license.
Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
