Font Awesome: Icon library and toolkit
Scalable vector icon library with multiple rendering formats.
Learn more about Font-Awesome
Font Awesome is an icon toolkit that distributes icons in multiple formats including SVG files, web fonts, and CSS sprites. The project maintains a large collection of icons accessible through different implementation approaches, allowing developers to choose between font-based rendering, SVG markup, or CSS-based delivery. Version 7 represents a major release that includes design updates and format improvements across the icon set. The toolkit is used across web applications, design systems, and content creation workflows where consistent iconography is needed.
Multiple Format Distribution
Icons ship as SVG files, web fonts, and CSS sprites in every release. Developers choose the implementation that fits their performance requirements, whether optimizing for HTTP requests, render performance, or bundle size.
Icon Stability Guarantee
Semantic versioning ensures icons are never removed in minor or patch releases, only added or visually refined. Applications maintain visual consistency across updates without breaking references or requiring migration work.
Triple License Model
Icons use CC BY 4.0, fonts use SIL OFL 1.1, and code uses MIT licensing with embedded attribution. Commercial and open source projects have clear legal terms for each asset type without additional compliance overhead.
