Fontastic is a web-based tool for creating custom icon sets for websites and applications. It suits designers and developers who need to select icons, upload custom SVG artwork, and turn those assets into browser-oriented font files. The service includes a library of more than 9,000 icons, while also supporting custom SVG icons and SVG fonts. Its workflow centers on icon-font production rather than full typeface design.

The core workflow covers character mappings, CSS class names, and exports in TTF, EOT, SVG, and WOFF formats. Fontastic also generates CSS stylesheets and HTML reference pages, which gives teams practical materials for integrating an icon set into a website or application. Published icons can be delivered as SVG sprites or hosted through a CDN. These features make it a useful fit when the main requirement is a repeatable path from icon artwork to web assets.

Project management and synchronization extend the workflow across multiple fonts, projects, and devices. The product remains deliberately narrow: its documented focus is single-color icon fonts, not general-purpose glyph creation or color fonts. Choose Fontastic for custom website icon sets, CSS-based icon usage, and multiple web export formats. A different font-design tool is a better fit for creating complete typefaces or working with color-font requirements.
