Basic Use
You can place Font Kiko icons just about anywhere using a style prefix and the icon’s name. We’ve tried to make it so that icons will take on the characteristics and appear alongside text naturally.
Font Kiko is designed to be used with inline elements and we recommend sticking with a consistent HTML element to reference them by in your project. We recommend to use tag <span> it is more semantically correct.
For example:
<span class="kikor kiko-train"></span>
<span class="kikol kiko-train"></span>
<span class="kikos kiko-train"></span>
There are kikor - type of font (Kiko Regular);
kikol - type of font (Kiko Light);
kikos - type of font (Kiko Solid);
kiko-train - name of icon;
Style | @font-face weight | Style class |
Example |
Rendering |
Light | 300 | kikol | <span class="kikol kiko-train"></span> |
|
Regular | 400 | kikor | <span class="kikor kiko-train"></span> |
|
Solid | 600 | kikos | <span class="kikos kiko-train"></span> |
