Longread

The longread icon represents a long-form reading experience or article in a user interface. It is commonly used to indicate that content is available for reading or that an article is long-form. The icon's design often features a simple and recognizable symbol, such as a book or a reading-related icon.

In software applications, the longread icon is often used in content platforms, blogs, or news websites to indicate long-form content. For instance, in a blog, the longread icon might be used to indicate that an article is a long read.

From a UX perspective, the longread icon communicates reading and content, helping users understand that they can expect to engage with long-form content. This icon is essential in user interfaces as it provides a clear and concise way to represent a long-form reading experience, making it easy for users to navigate and find content.

Longread is one of 241 icons in NRK Core Icons, made by Norsk rikskringkasting and released under CC BY 4.0. 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 LongreadIcon to components/icons/nrk-longread.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 LongreadIcon 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 Longread icon, or any of 241 NRK Core Icons 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="Longread", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. LongreadIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <LongreadIcon 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, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Norsk rikskringkasting) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Norsk rikskringkasting, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are UI, interface, content, reading and article. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Longread in another set.
