## What it is
Fantasticon is a pre-configured, highly configurable CLI tool that generates icon font kits from SVG files. It outputs multiple font formats (woff2, woff, ttf, eot, svg) along with CSS, HTML, JSON code-point maps, and TypeScript types for type-safe icon usage.

## Use cases
- generate an icon font from a folder of SVG icons
- create woff2/woff/ttf icon fonts for a website
- generate TypeScript types for icon codepoints to build type-safe React icon components
- produce JSON maps of icon codepoints for mobile app integration
- build a complete icon kit with CSS and HTML preview from SVGs

## When to choose
- you want a zero-config, quick CLI to turn SVG icons into a web font
- you need multiple font formats plus CSS/JSON/TS assets in one step
- you want configurable options like prefixes, selectors, and font height via a config file or JS API

## When to avoid
- you need SVG sprite sheets rather than icon fonts
- you require a GUI-based icon font builder
- your project uses icon libraries that already ship fonts and you don't need custom generation
