Omnigraffle, Climacons and Font Awesome

I recently been doing a few sketches using Omnigraffle and realised that I had to create my first stencils to support the graphical prototyping I’d been working on. The first font is the excellent Font Awesome and it already had a great stencil from Pat Cheung that I merely needed to update from his version to include the latest release of the font. The second font was a really nice climate icon font, Climacons that did not have any stencil.

I really took some inspiration from Pat’s work and have sent a pull request back to his Github so hopefully the stencil will be updated. I really think that Dave Gandy and all the Font Awesome contributors have really created something so useful for wire framing.
