What are the differences of Style Between Streamline Classic Icons (Light, Regular, Bold)?

Streamline Light Icons. The classic iOS line icon style, with enough details and a thin line stroke. 1px stroke on a 24px grid.

Streamline Regular Icons. A minimal and geometric line style. The right balance between legibility and minimalism. 1.5px stroke on a 24px grid.

Streamline Bold Icons. A solid style for easy recognition. Bold and great to use with colors. 2px stroke on a 24px grid.

Can I match the Light, Regular, and Bold Style in the same project?

The regular weight is thicker than the light so we have a lot less space available for details (compared to the light weight). We could have just created a "light" weight with the same minimal details as the "regular" weight and make the line stroke thinner, but we decided to have a light version with more details that can be used at bigger scale, for illustrative purpose for example.
​

So, our decision is to have 3 different weights that have different styles based on the constraints of each weight (less space for regular, different way to design on the filled "bold" version, etc.).
​

Consequently, we didn't design a system of icons that you can switch between the different weights. Each weight got a different purpose and would be used in different contexts.

Good news :-)

​We have now a new icon style, where icons should match better: the UI Line + Bold icons:
