News and information from Font Awesome – the internet's favorite icon set – mixed with musings and nerdery from the team behind it.
The Ents have decided…We have all agreed… that you two are not Orcs. This all started with an issue on our private Font-Awesome-Pro GitHub repository. Our support for tree shaking was shaky at best, requiring an additional tool-specific configuration that was easy to miss. We started down the path to fix the root issue related […]
In May, Font Awesome Pro’s price is going up to $99 a year. You can still buy it now at $60, and we’ll let you keep that price as long as your subscription is active!

There’s tons of new stuff to check out, like our all-new SVG framework (with a teensy dash of JavaScript we make SVG icons […]
We recently had a Font Awesome CDN user ask us if there was a way to fallback to CSS-only when using an embed code. While asynchronous loading and auto-accessibility will not work if JavaScript is disabled that’s no reason to keep the icons from showing up. We can do better. If you haven’t heard of […]
