Glyph Naming Scheme

Gufo Font uses a systematic naming scheme for glyphs, based on the glyph’s section, name, size, and style. The general format is:

[<section>-]<name>[-<size>][-<style>]

Brackets indicate optional parts.

The optional section prefix categorizes glyphs:

Section Prefix Description
Brands brand NOC branding icons
App Icons app NOC application icons
UI Icons User interface elements, default section
Cisco Stencils cisco Cisco-style stencils

A unique identifier for the glyph within its section. Examples: home, search, user.

Size

Specifies the relative size of the glyph:

  • Not specified – Full-size glyph occupying the entire 4096-unit design grid.
  • small – Smaller version, centered within the 8×8 central grid cells.

Style

Specifies the visual style of the glyph:

  • Not specified – Default bi-color outline style. Allows the colors to change depending on the element’s state.
  • s – Solid. Fully filled glyph.
  • o – Outline. Hollow glyph with only the border/stroke visible, transparent inside.
