An inconsistent icon set can immediately betray a website as unprofessional. Mixing bold, filled Material icons with thin, minimalist outline icons creates a jarring, frankenstein-like UI aesthetic.
The modern standard for web applications relies on unified stroke weights, clean geometry, and simple vectors. Frameworks like React have made it incredibly easy to consume icons as native components.
