SF Symbols come in nine weights — from ultralight to black — each of which corresponds to a weight of the San Francisco system font. This correspondence lets you achieve precise weight matching between symbols and adjacent text, while supporting flexibility for different sizes and contexts. Each symbol is also available in three scales: small, medium, and large. The scales are defined relative to the cap height of the San Francisco system font.
Subject to the following constraints, you can easily create your own custom SF Symbol by using the templates provided by Apple. There are a couple of tricks to the modification process though. These will be explained in the 6 step process outlined below.
CONSTRAINTS:1. It is important to note that you cant use SF Symbols (or glyphs that are substantially or confusingly similar ) in your app icons, logos, or any other trademark-related use.2. Some symbols can’t…
