3 awesome open-source iconsets!

Over the past few weeks Ive been creating a list of my favorite open-source icons. Theyve really expanded my thinking on different styles and trends in the design world. Lets get started!

CSS.gg

CSS.gg is a minimalist library with over 700+ icons for CSS, SVG, Figma, Adobe XD, and more! CSS.gg also was created by @astrit

With over 6000+ stars on Github, this open-source project is no joke. Each icon is very precise and detailed.

Ive used CSS.gg for a project in the past and it worked very well. Easy-to-setup, lightweight, and customizable. All very important features I look for.

FontAwesome

Yep, Im assuming you saw this one coming. With the huge library of icons and styles, this tool has taken web designers by storm.

With icons for every occasion, youll be set.

You can either go with the free plan or purchase the pro membership which includes:
-6000+ more icons

• More styles and brand choices
• Pro licenses
• And much more!Im also pretty hyped for FontAwesome right now because version 6 is soon to release! I cant wait to use their new styles which have a thinner and more modern feel.

HeroIcons

Some have heard of it, some havent. The point is that youve now heard of it!

Heroicons.dev is another magnificent open-source icon toolkit with a very modern style.

To be honest, I recently found this while browsing Indiehackers

and boy am I glad I did!

Heroicons has a very clean and unique style to it that makes any design feel fresh. I love that. It also has a solid and regular style just like FontAwesome which is pretty cool. I am planning to use this in BuildFasters website very soon.
