Pictos
by 2 othersPictos by Drew Wilson is one of my favorite sets of icons that have made their way into virtually every design project over the last several months—including the Inspire Well theme. Converting the icon set into a font file seems like a genius move that lets you embed the icons as @font-face type. This allows the designer to have far more control over size, color and appearance of the icons with CSS text styling. The only downside I can think of would be random letters used for the icon font throughout your HTML.
