Why? because it's practical We have designed a friendly icon set for an internal project. It is designed to be easily embeddable on a website or application using a webfont and css. We have decided to share it with everyone. Our creation flow was inspired by the excellent work of Dave Gandy's font awesome project and the Octicons font made by the github team.

Retina ready Fully scalable icons Fonts are made with vectors, so they are scalable and correctly render on retina screens or mobile displays. Logical assignement to unicode Semantic as possible We use Private Use Area Unicode to avoid conflicts with existing characters. We also bind icon with existing unicode that represent the same symbol allowing fallback in case of loading typography problem. Constantly updated Bringing more icons everyday Every project brings new icons, so we will update the font directory for every new icon we design.

MFG Labs Icon set Below are the classes to use the icons. We mainly use the Private Use Area Unicode (PUA) range to avoid conflicts with actual letters. Fontello The font is available on Fontello.
