The Mosaic icon style has roots in Josh's Uni Calendar. Highly geometric, mid-century-ish, reusable shapes that show up differently but hold the whole set together. The name makes sense when you hear it explained. Watch → youtu.be/vpgC_N2s49I?... Listen → www.podcastawesome.com/2092855/epis...

Why do some interfaces just feel right? Spoiler: it's not just colors and components. It's visual cohesion. We pixel-peep the details in our latest Blog Awesome. 👀 blog.fontawesome.com/visual-c...

Part 2 is coming next week... but first: Catch up with Josh Williams as we talk about Mosaic, his commissioned Font Awesome Pro+ icon pack, how it came together, and why “green fields” create the best design work. Watch → youtu.be/vpgC_N2s49I?... Listen → www.buzzsprout.com/2092855/epis...

FA Vellum: guest designer Brian Brasher created a small-batch set of icons that are layered, overlapping slabs of visual significance. Like a good joke: it's all about those layers. Available with Font Awesome Pro+ only. fontawesome.com/icons/packs/v...

FA Pixel: back when computers boasted 128kb of memory and a stack of quarters held your place in line at the arcade. Retro icon goodness, now available with Font Awesome Pro+, and ready to byte back! fontawesome.com/icons/packs/p...

New Podcast Awesome episode: Josh Williams on Mosaic icons, why he almost got fired editing Mac OS 7 system resources as a teenager, and whether the design monoculture of the last decade is finally cracking. Part 1 is out! Watch → youtu.be/vpgC_N2s49I?... Listen → www.buzzsprout.com/2092855/epis...

The Font Awesome Pro+ icon pack Mosaic is Josh Williams breaking the mold. Mosaic is built on solid forms, swoopy curves, and lovingly placed "quirks." These icons were built with solid craft behind them. fontawesome.com/icons/packs/m...

FA 7.3 just dropped four Pro+ icon packs. Mosaic is hand-crafted with "quirks." Pixel is pure retro. Vellum is layered and loveable. Slab is back with new styles. And if you've got a Pro+ subscription, you'll get all of them. fontawesome.com/icons

The whole concept came from a book cover. Specifically the stroke contrast in the typeface on it. Laura had one question: can you bring thick-to-thin stroke contrast into an icon system? Nobody had really done it. She wasn't sure it would work. She did it anyway. Watch → youtu.be/ALlNUTYC83g?...

"Oh, you know, I just spent the last hour debating one pixel." A perfectly normal thing to say if you're an icon designer. In the latest ep, Laura talks about why icon design is really just solving tiny puzzles all day. Watch → youtu.be/ALlNUTYC83g?... Listen → www.buzzsprout.com/2092855/epis...

Laura Bohill got a brief for Font Awesome 7: make something expressive, no rules, total freedom. Reader, she had an existential crisis. The result is Chisel — and it's unlike anything we've released. New Podcast Awesome episode is live. 🎙️ Watch → youtu.be/ALlNUTYC83g?si=Yi-xA...

🎬 Ever wonder what it takes to make a 4-minute Kickstarter video? Apparently: a full film crew, a kitchen set, a puppet in an Eleventy t-shirt, and some very questionable creative decisions. Go behind the scenes 👀 youtu.be/3rhilRoWZUw?...

"Lifestyle business" gets used as an insult. Dave Gandy disagrees. If your only bottom line is cash, that's your lifestyle. Hope it was worth it. New Podcast Awesome with FA founder Dave Gandy on what it actually costs to build a place worth working. 🎙️ Watch → youtu.be/IpjlsPF5lsk?...

One day. We didn’t add more ingredients. We fixed the recipe. Fast by default, calmer to maintain, and built to last after it’s baked. Full reveal tomorrow. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Three days. You’ve got all the right ingredients, but shipping a website still feels harder than it should. We’ve been working on a better recipe: fast by default, durable over time, so you’ve got a site that’s easy to tweak once it’s baked. www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
