Icon

Place vector icons anywhere using an icon font.

This component is using the fantastic Material Icons icon font, a project by Google. Altogether Material Icons provides more than 900 symbols and glyphs for web-related actions. Icon fonts are great, because they enable you to easily change color, size and more via CSS. They are scalable vector graphics, which means that they look great on high-resolution displays.

Legacy users will need Font Awesome as FatKit was switched to Material Icons ion April 2016.
