Font Awesome

What is Font Awesome?

Font Awesome is an icon library covering a wide range of use cases from UI icons to brand and social logos, distributed as icon fonts, SVGs, or framework-specific packages (React, Vue, and others). It predates most of the newer SVG-first icon libraries and has stayed relevant by continuing active development, including major version updates, and by having by far the broadest brand/social icon coverage of any icon set, which matters for anything that needs to display recognizable third-party logos.

Key features

• Massive icon catalog spanning UI, brand/social logos, and category-specific icon sets
• Multiple delivery formats: web fonts, SVG sprite, and native component packages for React, Vue, Angular, and more
• Free and Pro tiers, with Pro unlocking additional icon styles (duotone, sharp, thin) and a larger total icon count
• Kits for managing which icons and styles load on a given site without shipping the entire library
• Long track record and broad recognizability, most developers already know its icon names

Who it's for

Projects that need broad, recognizable icon coverage, especially brand and social icons, without hand-sourcing individual SVGs. If you only need a small, clean set of UI icons and care most about minimal bundle size and a modern SVG-first workflow, a lighter icon set built specifically for that is often a better fit.

Pricing

Free tier with a solid base icon set, paid Pro plans unlock additional icon styles and a much larger total library.
