Bootstrap Icons
Open source SVG icon library for Bootstrap
Free, high-quality, open-source icon library with over 1,600 icons. Include them any way you like, SVGs, SVG sprite, or web fonts. Use them with or without Bootstrap in any project. Bootstrap Icons are published to npm, but they can also be manually downloaded if needed. Bootstrap Icons are SVGs, so you can include them into your HTML in a few ways depending on how your project is setup. We recommend using a width: 1em (and optionally height: 1em) for easy resizing via font-size. Embed your icons within the HTML of your page (as opposed to an external image file). Here we’ve used a custom width and height. Use the SVG sprite to insert any icon through the <use> element. Use the icon’s filename as the fragment identifier (e.g., toggles is #toggles). SVG sprites allow you to reference an external file similar to an <img> element, but with the power of currentColor for easy theming. -

Suitable for MeteorJS, Gatsbyjs etc. SVG is supported by all major browsers. With react-icons, you can serve only the needed icons instead of one big font file to the users, helping you to recognize which icons are used in your project. From version 3, vertical-align: middle is not automatically given. Import path has changed. You need to rewrite from the old style. You can add more icons by submitting pull requests or creating issues. -

Phosphor Icons
The homepage of Phosphor Icons, a flexible icon family for everyone
Phosphor is a flexible icon family for interfaces, diagrams, presentations, whatever, really. 1047 icons and counting. 6 weights: Thin, Light, Regular, Bold, Fill, and Duotone. Designed at 16 x 16px to read well small and scale up big. Raw stroke information retained to fine-tune the style. We use a similar approach as many other icon sets out there, providing icons as a webfont that uses Unicode's Private Use Area character codes to map normally non-rendering characters to icons. But you don't need to know that. Phosphor's intuitive but powerful API can style the color, size, and weight of an icon with a few keystrokes, provide default styles to all icons via the Context API, or directly manipulate the SVG at runtime through render props to do some amazing things! Supports tree-shaking, so your bundle only includes code for the icons you use. -

Cozette
A bitmap programming font optimized for coziness
A bitmap programming font optimized for coziness. Cozette is a 6x13px (bounding box; average 5px character width, 3px descent, 10px ascent, 8px cap height) bitmap font based on Dina, which itself is based on Proggy. It's also heavily inspired by Creep. I absolutely adore Creep, and was using it up until I got a higher-DPI screen for which it was slightly too small. That prompted me to make the bitmap font I always wished existed: Cozette; a small-but-not-tiny bitmap font with great coverage of all the glyphs you might encounter in the terminal. I'm intentionally putting the emphasis on "you" - although Cozette already has all the glyphs I've seen in my CLI tools so far, you might find it's missing a glyph you wish it had. If that's the case, please file an issue! It's an important goal for Cozette to be a useful bitmap alternative to Nerd Fonts. Bitmap fonts are, effectively, just that - bitmaps. -

React Native Vector Icons
Customizable Icons for React Native with full styling
Perfect for buttons, logos and nav/tab bars. Easy to extend, style and integrate into your project. If you want to use any of the bundled icons, you need to add the icon fonts to your Xcode project. For each platform (iOS/Android/Windows) you plan to use, follow one of the options for the corresponding platform. Upgrading this package often requires the font files linked to your projects to be updated as well. If the automatic linking works for you, running this again should update the fonts. You can either use one of the bundled icons supported or roll your own custom font. Since Icon builds on top of the Text component, most style properties will work as expected, you might find it useful to play around with background color, border width, border color, border radius, padding, margin, color, font size, etc. -
