Flat Icons & Icon Fonts

There are many such roundups. This one is mine.

Icon Fonts... are awesome. They typically come with standard vectors as well if you prefer working with them that way, but these icon projects go the extra mile in offering an @font-face compatible font for web use.

FontShop's Best Typefaces of 2011
Another year has whizzed by! While last year saw the real breakthrough for webfonts, this year we witnessed the introduction of mobile fonts and the promise of more diversity and typographic refinement in mobile apps. Yet the news in type was not dominated only by technology. Our beloved type designers cooked up delicious new digital faces for FontShop’s menu of typographic treats.

To celebrate the end of another exciting year in type, our type experts put their heads together to compile our annual “Best Of” list, highlighting the typefaces that surprised, impressed, and delighted us. (And if the “Best Of“ list whets your appetite for fonts, check our Newsletter Archive for more morsels. All this year’s new typefaces are in there.)

The minimalist style is rampant in the design industry. But just because it has become increasingly popular doesn’t mean that it’s that simple to practice. Anyone can try doing it, but not everyone can achieve it.
One of the most essential elements in a minimalist design is typography. Let’s face it, you can’t do justice to minimalism with pre-installed fonts like Arial, Century Gothic, Georgia, Verdana, Times New Roman, and etc. But frown no more! Here are 30 sleek fonts you can download for free that could fit perfectly on your minimalist designs.
Just remember that each of these fonts will blend differently with different elements. Try out several samples for your design and don’t be afraid to experiment with your font’s sizes, spacing, leading or kerning as well. Enjoy!

There are those points in every interactive designer’s career when he becomes fed up with producing the same set of graphics all over again for every website he designs. It could be the social network icons, gallery arrows or any number of his «signature» butterflies for the footer of each of his projects. Similar for interactive developers that have to slice the same GIFs and PNGs each time art-director asks them to.

Until now. We want creative people to spend time on creative things. So we came up with the typeface that includes all frequently used iconographics and symbols. Although, the idea is not hot-baked — Webdings and Windings have been around for quite a time — all of them have a lot of unnecessary and sometimes actually scary symbols.

Web Symbols is a set of vector html-compliant typefaces, so it might be used in any size, color and browser (okey, mostly — but IE7 for sure).
