> How is it better than other existing open icon sets such as FontAwesome, then?

(From the homepage) I suppose it'd be these 2 aspects:

  - [...] designed to be legible down to 8 pixels
  - Our icon font WOFF is 11.1Kb (roughly 4 times smaller than Font Awesome).

Hmm. I'd like to see a demo of the first claim.

The 2nd claim is nice, I suppose, but FA also has 369 glyphs compared to 218 in OI, so the per-glyph file size advantage isn't actually that dramatic.
