Fine Tuning
There’s a trick, however. Line Awesome is pixel perfect , though it’s optimized for larger size. While Font Awesome is optimized for 14×14 px, Line Awesome Awesome looks great in 32×32 px.
If you use larger icons, you’re cool. If you use 14×14, first please check if it looks ok. Many icons do. Otherwise, try changing it to 16×16 with CSS. The majority of our line icons look cool this way. If not, please drop us a line in comments and tell us which icon you want us to fix. We’ll do that for you.
- * Most people, in fact: Icons8 statistics show that line icons are way more popular than filled icons.
