Archival of webfont #18

Description

@zowiebeha

I couldn't find this package used in our other repositories. It also hasn't been updated for quite awhile. It appears that we use FontAwesome's generated font icons for the current LansingCodes website. Would it benefit prospective contributors to set this repository's GitHub status to an archived state? It may better direct their focus.

To offer points to both sides of the discussion, it would be cool to keep it around, as it is our own. We have creative control over it. To make it useful for all users in the modern web, we would need to bring its technology up-to-speed in terms of optimizations, icon contribution criteria, and developer experience.

Another point that supports archiving the repo is that perhaps it is more time-consuming to maintain an icon set such as this, as compared to using a vendor-generated font file and @font-face definition. There are benefits to third-party fonts. FontAwesome in particular includes per-project icon tree-shaking, overall uniformity of icon art style, a vast ecosystem, and likely other features.
