Draw Text

The draw-text icon represents a text editing or writing tool, symbolizing creativity and content creation. It originates from graphic design and illustration software, where text editing is a fundamental feature. This icon is often used to convey concepts related to writing, editing, or typography.

In software and digital platforms, the draw-text icon appears in various applications related to graphic design, illustration, and writing, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, graphic design software like Canva or Sketch, or writing apps like Evernote or Notion.

From a UX perspective, the draw-text icon effectively communicates text-related functionality to users, helping them quickly identify and access features related to writing, editing, or typography. Its clear and concise design ensures users can easily recognize and understand its meaning.

Draw Text is one of 545 icons in ProIcons, made by ProCode and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 1.5 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds DrawTextIcon to components/icons/proicons-draw-text.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 DrawTextIcon 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 Draw Text icon, or any of 545 ProIcons 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, and its stroke.

Draw Text is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 1.5. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

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="Draw Text", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. DrawTextIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <DrawTextIcon 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. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT 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 ProIcons, ProCode and the license.

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

Its tags are editing, typography, graphic, writing, font and illustration. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Draw Text in another set.
