GitHub describes it as Material Design icons by Google (Material Symbols). The metadata lists the Apache-2.0 license. The README describes the project this way: These are two different official icon sets from Google, using the same underlying designs. Material Symbols is the current set, introduced in April 2022, built on variable font technology. Material Icons is the classic set, but no longer updated. More details below.

The README section "Material Symbols / Material Icons" states: The icons can be browsed in a more user-friendly way at https://fonts.google.com/icons. Use the popdown menu near top left to choose between the two sets; Material Symbols is the default.

The README section "Icon Requests" states: We’d love to support your icon needs! Please submit your request here on GitHub as an issue.

The README section "Icon Requests" states: Please note that Google Fonts does not accept user submissions of finished icon designs! There are fairly strict guidelines for Material icons, plus Google has upstream source files from which this repo is generated. Therefore, Google does not accept pull requests for icon files (whether new icon suggestions, or fixes for existing icons). Concepts are appreciated, just don’t design SVGs and submit them via pull request.

The repository README is the source for this review. It does not replace a local installation or an independent test.
