Part 2 of our design systems series is up: the actual components (color, type, icons, imagery, layout, UI elements) that give a design system its teeth. blog.fontawesome.com/design-s...

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...
New episode is out!: Josh Williams on why some software might need a final season, Gowalla/Path and "everything apps," and what AI really changes about design (it's not the building, it's about editing and taste). Watch: youtu.be/8VGw_MduwX4 Listen: www.podcastawesome.com/episod...

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
"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...
We ran Build Week at Font Awesome, which was a full week of just building with AI, no deliverables required. The surprise wasn't how much the AI did. It was where it helped most. We did a write up on our blog with what we found: blog.fontawesome.com/using-ai...
