Icon Types

There are three types of link icon.

  • icon-arrow, the usual orange arrow to the left of the link.
  • icon-arrow-back, an orange arrow to the left of the link, pointing backwards.
  • icon-arrow-forward, an orange arrow to the right of the link, pointing forward – for example for links that point to the next step in an ongoing process.
