Icon fonts are extremely useful resources for web designers. There’s so many benefits to using a icon webfont over traditional image sprites, such as the ability to have the icon infinitely scale and retain perfect quality; easily change the colour of the icon artwork using CSS; and have a whole library of glyphs available within just one file. There’s a bunch of great icon fonts out there, but this post rounds up the best. These are the largest and highest quality collections that are all downloadable for free!
