Font Awesome is a font and icon toolkit based on CSS and LESS. It was made by Dave Gandy for use with the Twitter Bootstrap, and later was incorporated into the BootstrapCDN. Font Awesome has a 20% market share among those websites which use third-party Font Scripts on their platform, ranking it on a second place after Google Fonts.^[1]

There are also 3rd party CDN providers who host the project for free, such as Font Awesome CDN. ^[2]
