Types

Types are designed to emphasise the nature of the action.

Icon button default
Default

Default is the standard button type that conveys a general action.

Negative icon button
Negative

Use negative for destructive actions, like canceling a transfer, closing a balance or removing an uploaded item.

Best practices

Icon buttons work best if they are recognisable without accompanying copy.

Negative icon button with bin icon

Use icons that are most obvious for the proposed action.

Don’t use icon buttons for a specific action that isn’t obvious with the icon alone.
