Only useful if you are already using Fontello, otherwise the maintainer directs you to the original Zocial project.
This repo hosts a set of social media buttons, things like Facebook, Twitter, and GitHub logos styled as clickable buttons, that have been reworked specifically for the Fontello icon font builder. If you are building a website or web app and want clean, consistent social buttons without designing each one from scratch, this gives you a ready-made source. At a high level, the project is a CSS-based collection of button styles combined with an icon font. Fontello is a tool that lets you pick and choose only the icons you need and packages them into a custom font file, which keeps your site lightweight. This repo feeds Zocial's button designs into that process so they can be bundled alongside other icons you might select. The audience here is mostly developers or designers using Fontello directly. If you are a founder or PM working with a front-end developer, you might encounter these buttons in your project's icon set. The README is brief and points to the original Zocial project for anyone who wants to use the buttons outside of Fontello's workflow. One notable detail is the project's explicit instruction: the maintainer asks that you not use these materials in other ways and directs you to the original source if you need the font for a different purpose. This is essentially a curated, tool-specific repackaging rather than a standalone library, so its usefulness depends on whether you are already using Fontello.
