A buddy at the Seattle meetup showed me his icon set was just 3 SVG paths per glyph, I'd been hand-tracing 40+ points this whole time
We got coffee after the font meetup near Capitol Hill and he pulled up his grid on a laptop. Turns out he builds icons by snapping to a 2px grid and reusing the same curve command over and over, so a whole set is maybe 15 lines. I opened my own file when I got home and my bell icon alone had 62 anchor points doing nothing. Spent an hour cutting it down to 9 and it looks cleaner at small sizes now. How many points are you all averaging per icon before you call it done?

Feel this so hard, my trash icon had 80.
