This awesome collection is created with scalable vector graphics, so you can use every Voticon at any size. Another plus is that the commercial use is completely free.

Using the international standard of Unicode.org, we have made it easy to find and use Voticon. This also ensures a fallback to other similar types of icons, that use the same standards in case there are any loading typography problems.

Why do we need another icon-font? Out there, we may find thousands of icon-fonts. However, we cannot find any that would be ideal to our styles. We are based in the heart of Germany’s Capital of Culture and Art, so we were looking for a font which would have a certain finesse to it, consistency, simplicity, easy on the eyes and a style that could be used in any design or theme, and would be easily embeddable on any professional online shop.

The VOTUM Code Week gave us the chance to create our own individual icon font which suits to our requirements. For one week we got the chance to focus on a topic outside of the daily business. With a team consisting of five members, we created Voticon within this week, a light, geometric icon font, that has quite simple structure, smooth edges and is based
on a square-grid.
