I love Font Awesome and use it all the time....but this campaign is to help fund development of a "somewhat faster" commercial licensable version of existing icons?

I would be a lot more apt to donate if this was just to help fund Dave to make more icons freely available.

Black Tie is a completely new icon set designed from scratch. Different look and feel than the original Font Awesome.

Supporting this will also give me more time to work on the original Font Awesome, too!

FWIW this was not what I got from a quick glance through the KS page. I left with an impression that you are just adding extra weights to the FA.

Also, making a completely new icon font ... damn, that's going to be a tough thing to market. Every second person on Dribbble considers it their blood debt to release at least one icon font, usually a freebie. There's ton of established icon fonts too, some of which are extremely well marketed and are essentially the go-to standards in the designer (paid) circles. Granted, you've got a great name at your disposal and an attention of a large user base, but given that FA is free, I just can't help but wonder what your conversion rate is going to be like.

Appreciate all your've done with Font Awesome...just not sure about black tie (while I get that it loads fast cutting points such as the star example IMHO makes the icons look odd like an images missing anti-aliasing).
