Extending Genericons in WordPress

With wordpress 4+, is it possible to create our own genericons and add them to the existing list that is bundled with WordPress? I know exactly what I want, which I can design in illustrator, but the default icons with the CMS don’t come close to it. If so, is there a tutorial online?

I’d rather go this route than adding on an addition large font system along with genericons.

Thanks

You need something like Fontastic or Grunticon to create your custom fonts/icons.

Then just add your fonts to your html with wp_enqueue_style() or add the head elements directly.

There is a section on the Genericons GitHub that describes Building your own Genericons using FontCustom or Fontello.
