Around 2 years ago I got the idea of making an alternative to MDI that favored a slightly lighter style with the same consistent design. Unfortunately it always sat second to all of my other open source efforts (mainly MDI).

• Preview on the CDN

Now with the effort of the MDI contributor team we're working to make MDI Light a first class icon set! This will mean regular updates and improvements from the community.

• Managed by the same awesome team as MDI
  • MaterialDesignLight
• Similar structured NPM Packages as MDI
• View History of Changes

The only real difference is that for an icon to exist in MDI Light it must first exist in MDI. The team views this as a way to ensure MDI gets icons first and that we can perfectly map codepoints in the font between the two.

NPM

• npm i @mdi/light-font | NPM | GitHub
• npm i @mdi/light-svg | NPM GitHub |
• npm i @mdi/light-js | NPM | GitHub
• npm i @mdi/react - Same react library works great for MDI Light.

Future

MDI Light is a side project for our team, but over the next year we're going to quickly add icons to ensure it's a great alternative for everyone.

Everything will live under the @mdi organization on NPM.
