How do I decrease the size of a font-awesome icon?

Question

What is the best way to decrease the size of a font awesome icon. There is a fa-3x, etc... to increase the size. Is there a class to decrease the size?

Answer 1

Font-Awesome icons, as the name suggests, are font-based. This means to decrease their size all you have to do is decrease their font-size:

::before {
    font-size: 130px;
}
