## What it is
Fork Awesome is a community fork of Font Awesome 4.7 providing 796 pictographic and brand icons as an icon font and CSS toolkit for websites. The project is now deprecated: builds are broken and the maintainers recommend switching to other icon sets.

## Use cases
- add scalable vector icons to a website
- use a free community-run alternative to Font Awesome 4.7
- get brand and fediverse icons via an icon font
- include icons through a CDN CSS file in a web project

## When to choose
- you must maintain a legacy project already built on Font Awesome 4.7 or Fork Awesome
- you need the specific 796-icon set including fediverse brand icons

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - the project is deprecated and icon fonts are considered outdated
- you want actively maintained icons - use Font Awesome, Lucide, or other modern SVG icon sets
