  • fantasticon

    Icon font generation tool

  • with tools like this: https://github.com/tancredi/fantasticon using font icons is pretty easy to use. The biggest issue I found with font icons was getting upskilling new devs. online tools are clunky and explaining how to use it was always a pain. sometimes i'd wind up just saying 'use an svg'.
