Pingdom tools weighs it in as bigger than that. https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/Mn0e2/https://feathericons.com/

Looking at the site usage, there's an advert weighing in at 36KB that uBlock was nicely hiding from me, but the biggest thing in the page is the web font, 48.58 KB worth. The site looks great on a browser with web fonts blocked, so I'm not sure why they're wasting bandwidth, effort and additional DNS resolution and TCP handshakes there.

I guess for Indian standards the latency might often be more of an issue than size in bytes. It looks like this site is served by Netlify, which functions (among other things) as a CDN.
