Font Awesome (FA)
Homepage
What is it?
A huge library of icons and emojis, designed to render properly on any webpage in a huge variety of sizes, with or without properties such as animations. It can be hosted via their CDNs or self-hosted.
Why did we choose it?
It has an absolutely ridiculous number of well designed icons, lots of functionality, and is designed to display neatly on almost any device or webpage.
What do we use it for?
We use FA for various parts of the website where we need something to be more readable; icons are a great way to help signal to users what a button or other element does.
Deserted Chateau self-hosts Font Awesome with a standalone copy of the Pro license.
