Simplified one-color linocut-like icon. Strong slightly irregular contour, tapered cut marks and a few widely spaced hatch lines following the form. Large white negative spaces. No uniform technical monoline, gray washes, continuous gradients, tiny crosshatching, distressed background or decorative frame.

Square canvas, at least 1024 × 1024. Center one complete subject with 15% empty margin; readable at 96px. Pure opaque white background. No text, numbers, logos, watermark, frame, loose decorations or extra objects. Deliver one icon, not a sheet. If an example image is attached, use only its style; replace its subject with the requested subject.

Open and save any example above, then attach it to your prompt as a style reference in your image tool.
