css.gg

I'm not sure what to call these icons from Astrit Malsija. The title is "500+ CSS Icons, Customizable, Retina Ready & API" and the URL is "css.gg" but they aren't really named anything.

The Order of CSS Classes in HTML Doesn’t Matter
17.12.2019
That’s right! And I can prove it, too. Let’s look at some CSS first:
.a {
