Compare Web Open Font Format and TrueType Font formats — understand the key differences and when to use each
Web Open Font Format
WOFF (Web Open Font Format) is a compressed font format designed specifically for web use. WOFF wraps TrueType or OpenType font data with metadata and ZLIB compression, typically reducing font file sizes by 40%. WOFF is supported by all modern browsers and is the W3C standard for web fonts.
TrueType Font
TTF (TrueType Font) is a scalable font format developed by Apple and Microsoft in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobe's PostScript fonts. TTF uses quadratic Bézier curves to define glyph outlines, providing high-quality rendering at any size. TrueType fonts include hinting instructions that optimize rendering on screen at small sizes. TTF is supported by all major operating systems and applications. While OpenType (OTF) has largely succeeded TrueType for professional typography, TTF remains widely used and universally compatible.
