Typing

The typing icon represents a person typing on a keyboard. It is commonly used to symbolize writing, editing, and communication. The icon's design features a keyboard or typing hands, making it easily recognizable.

In real-world applications, this icon appears in text editors, communication platforms, and productivity software. For example, email clients or messaging apps may use this icon to represent typing or composing messages.

From a UX perspective, the typing icon communicates a sense of creativity and communication, helping users understand text-related information. Its clear design makes it easy to recognize and understand.

Typing is one of 998 icons in Ultimate color icons, made by Streamline 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 TypingIcon to components/icons/streamline-ultimate-color-typing.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 TypingIcon 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 Typing icon, or any of 998 Ultimate color icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

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.

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="Typing", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. TypingIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <TypingIcon 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.
