Icon Fonts use the @font-face rule in CSS to embed TTF, EOT and similar font formats into a web page. Basically, they are fonts that look and function like social media icons. The entire purpose of using icon fonts as opposed to a jpg or png is to replace rendered icons on a web page using images. Images can sometimes be large and cause the page to slow or don’t resize the way a font would – icon fonts are vectors so they scale without become pixelated.
