## Which fits you

**Where Phosphor fits:** one coherent set where thin to bold weights are the main choice. Its README says raw stroke information is kept so you can fine-tune the style.

**Where IconOven fits:** a larger set, more looks than weights (duotone, bulk, pop and more), and round and sharp corners from the same masters.

## Try both

`npm i @iconoven/react` and `npm i @phosphor-icons/react`.

## Common questions

### Is Phosphor free?

Its repository is MIT licensed (copyright 2020 Phosphor Icons).

### How many weights does Phosphor have?

Six, per its README.

### Which has more icons?

On the numbers each site gives, IconOven lists 85,000+ across 13 styles and Phosphor lists 1,248 per its README on 12 Oct 2026 (and counting). They count differently (icons times styles), so compare per style too.
