Fontello is a web application for building custom icon fonts by selecting and merging glyphs from multiple open-source icon sets into a single optimized webfont. It also exposes an HTTP API for scripting font generation from configuration files.
Use cases
- generate a custom icon font from open source icon sets
- shrink icon font size by including only needed glyphs
- merge icons from several fonts into one file
- import custom SVG icons into a webfont
- automate icon font builds via CLI and API
- manage icon font config in version control and regenerate fonts
When to choose
- you need a lightweight custom icon webfont for a web project
- you want to combine icons from multiple open-source icon sets
- you want to minimize font payload by selecting only used glyphs
- you want to script font generation from a config file
When to avoid
- you need full variable font or complex OpenType features
- you prefer icon delivery via SVG sprite or icon components instead of fonts
- you need a actively developed tool with frequent updates
