Sample Font Files for Download — TTF, OTF, WOFF, WOFF2

WOFF2 first, with WOFF as a fallback if you still support very old browsers. WOFF2 uses Brotli compression and is typically 25 to 30 percent smaller than WOFF and roughly half the size of the raw TTF, and every current browser supports it. Serve TTF or OTF to the browser only if you have a specific reason — they are the desktop and design-tool formats.

Yes. All six faces are under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits use, study, modification and redistribution, including commercially and including embedding in applications and documents. The one restriction that matters in practice is that you may not sell the fonts on their own, and a modified version must not use the original reserved font name. The full licence is published next to the files.

They are both OpenType files; the difference is how the glyph outlines are stored. TTF uses quadratic Bézier curves in a glyf table, OTF uses cubic curves in a CFF table. Cubic outlines are what type designers draw in, quadratic is what most rasterizers historically preferred. Either works everywhere today, but a strict parser will treat them differently, which is why we publish both.

No, deliberately. The upstream sources are variable, and we instance each one to a single static weight before conversion, then strip the leftover variation tables. Static faces are what most font loaders, subsetters and validators are actually tested against, and a stray fvar table is a common cause of confusing failures.
