Why Icon Fonts are Awesome
We’ve been using icon fonts for our projects instead of graphical icons for years. There are several advantages to using icon fonts.
- Scale them with CSS
- Color them with CSS
- Add shadows with CSS
- Change opacity with CSS
- Rotate or animate with CSS
- Basically make any changes without opening Photoshop and editing a sprite
- They automatically scale for retina displays
