How do I create my own icon font?

Want to use icon fonts for links on a project I'm working on. But I can seem to find an icon for the website Letterboxd. So thinking I should create my own in illustrator and somehow convert it to an icon font. I just don't know how.

Thanks.

  1. Create an icon in SVG
  2. Use fontello to add it to an icon font.
