Introducing Font Awesome 7!
- The next version of the internet's favorite icon library and toolkit has arrived. It includes more icons, improved performance, and new ways to make your designs look amazing.
- Redesigned core icons. We've refined the majority of our core icons with more consistent key shapes.
- 300+ new icons. This first release of Font Awesome 7 delivers a large batch of fresh icons, with more coming soon.
New Pro+ icon packs!
- Each pack offers a curated set of the 200 most commonly used icons for app and website design. Available with a Pro+ subscription.
- Now available: Chisel, Etch, Jelly, Notdog, Slab, Thumbprint, and Whiteboard.
- Additional icon packs are on the way.
Icon Wizard improvements!
- A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
- Now includes over 40 modifiers.
- Option to place modifiers in the bottom-right or bottom-left corner.
- Turn any modified icon into a Duotone icon.
Changed
- Design improvements to the majority of our core icons.
- Massive improvements to SVG/JS pseudo-elements performance.
- Significantly smaller webfonts due to higher Brotli compression, a switch to CFF and various other optimizations.
- Smaller CSS files by using custom properties and optimizing the files for better compression.
- Upgraded to Dart Sass with modern SCSS and improved CSS properties.
- Improved naming and consistency of CSS custom properties.
- Use of CSS Logical Properties to support RTL languages and diverse writing modes.
- Icon canvases now render at a consistent fixed width. To use the default rendering from v6, add our new fa-width-auto class.
- We've added mapping support for renamed CSS custom properties and SCSS variables to help existing projects using FA5 or FA6 work seamlessly with FA7.
- We have changed how our individual SVG files are formatted in FA7:
- No longer include a global stylesheet
- path elements no longer have classes on them
- They default to fill=currentColor
- Duotone path color and opacity can be set using --fa-primary-opacity, --fa-primary-color, etc.
- We removed some redundant icon designs, and remapped them as aliases:
- user-large[-slash] → user[-slash]
- hexagon-vertical-nft-slanted → hexagon-vertical-nft
- headphones-simple → headphones
- toilet-paper-blank[-under] → toilet-paper[-under]
- vector-[shape] → draw-[shape]
- film-simple → film
- grid-horizontal → grip
- handshake-simple[-slash] → handshake[-slash]
- If you have custom CSS that selects the .fa-primary or .fa-secondary classes on SVG path elements, they'll no longer be present in FA7. Use the CSS custom properties to set opacity and color.
- Changed SVG stringification on the Kits CDN. Most importantly, duotone icons must now be parsed based on the presence of an opacity attribute with a value less than 1, rather than relying on earlier structural patterns.
- We are no longer including legacy .ttf or .woff webfonts. If your project depends on those files, please update to use the .woff2 format, which is now the standard for webfont delivery.
- We removed the sr-only classes, as Font Awesome's built-in accessibility doesn't use this approach anymore. If you were using them in your code, make sure you add sr-only styles to your own stylesheet.
- We removed the fa-fw class, as it is no longer needed with the new default fixed-width rendering. If you were using it, you can now use the new fa-width-auto class to revert to the previous behavior.
- We have removed support for Less CSS in FA7. If your project uses Less, we recommend migrating to Sass, using our precompiled CSS, or continuing with Font Awesome 6.
- We have dropped support for our official Python Django plugin. If you were using it, you can either continue with Font Awesome 6 or switch to a self-hosted Kit or our standard CSS.
- We have ended support for the official Ruby on Rails Gem. Projects using it can continue with Font Awesome 6 or migrate to using a Web Fonts-based Kit or a self-hosted Kit.
- Our official Vue component now supports Vue 3+ only. Compatibility with Vue 2 or earlier is no longer guaranteed in FA7.
- The React component no longer supports dynamic imports. If you were importing icons dynamically, you'll need to update your syntax to use static imports for compatibility with FA7.
Fixed
- Improved support for screen readers and assistive technologies.
- Updated accessibility documentation and guidance to align with current best practices.
- Downloaded SVGs now default to a square viewbox, with an option to download a trimmed version.
- Since SVG icons now get a currentColor fill, icons that were previously black might now get a different color. For example, an SVG inside a div with blue text will now become blue instead of the default path color of black.
- We dropped the --fa--fa for Duotone which we briefly introduced for FA6. You can now trigger the second layer of a Duotone icon by ligatures (just repeat the Unicode value) or enabling a stylistic set (font-feature-settings: "ss01").
