line art
Strokes without shading
Line art is drawing composed entirely of distinct lines against a plain background, without gradation in shade or color.
The term often distinguishes work that can be reproduced cleanly in black and white—pen-and-ink illustrations, technical diagrams, comic book outlines—from artwork requiring halftones or continuous tones: The logo works best as simple line art.
